The sources of adaptive variation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 31 May 2017

Charlesworth Deborah, Barton Nicholas H, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

The role of natural selection in the evolution of adaptive phenotypes has undergone constant probing by evolutionary biologists, employing both theoretical and empirical approaches. As Darwin noted, natural selection can act together with other processes, including random changes in the frequencies of phenotypic differences that are not under strong selection, and changes in the environment, which may reflect...
