Evolutionary dynamics of morphological stability in a long-term experiment with Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the questions in morphological evolution, some biologists seek to carry out evolution experiments owing to the incompleteness and uncontrollability of the fossil record and natural populations. To quantitatively analyse the morphology (cell size) evolution observed from a long-term experiment with Escherichia coli, the authors present three mathematical approximations to the Wright-Fisher model of...
