How repeatable is adaptive evolution? The role of geographical origin and founder effects in laboratory adaptation.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

The importance of contingency versus predictability in evolution has been a long-standing issue, particularly the interaction between genetic background, founder effects, and selection. Here we address experimentally the effects of genetic background and founder events on the repeatability of laboratory adaptation in Drosophila subobscura populations for several functional traits. We found disparate starting...
