Abstract excerpt
Evolution can be contingent on history, but we do not yet have a clear understanding of the processes and dynamics that govern contingency. Here, we performed the second phase of a two-phase evolution experiment to investigate features of contingency. The first phase of the experiment was based on Escherichia coli clones that had evolved at the stressful temperature of 42.2 °C. The Phase 1 lines generally evolved...
