Experimental validation of Haldane's hypothesis on the role of infection as an evolutionary force for Metazoans.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Aug 2007

Abstract excerpt

A common drawback in evolutionary science is the fact that the evolution of organisms occurs in geological timing, completely out of the time scale of laboratory experimental work. For this reason, some relevant hypotheses on evolution of Metazoans are based on correlations more than on experimental data obtained for testing the robustness of those hypotheses. In the current work, we implement an experimental...
