Abstract excerpt
Natural selection tends to promote the divergence of populations living in different environments. Even in identical environments, however, replicate populations may diverge if they find alternative adaptive solutions. We describe the evolution of 18 bacterial populations (Comamonas sp.) founded from a single progenitor genotype and propagated separately for 1000 generations in two distinct environments, one...
