Endosymbiosis and its implications for evolutionary theory.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Aug 2015

O'Malley Maureen A

Abstract excerpt

Historically, conceptualizations of symbiosis and endosymbiosis have been pitted against Darwinian or neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory. In more recent times, Lynn Margulis has argued vigorously along these lines. However, there are only shallow grounds for finding Darwinian concepts or population genetic theory incompatible with endosymbiosis. But is population genetics sufficiently explanatory of endosymbiosis...
