Prolonged exposure to constant environmental conditions prompts nonrandom genetic variation

2020-04-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Long-term environmental exposure under selection-free conditions has no consequences for fitness under the neo-Darwinian paradigm but it may provoke adaptive developmental buffering if environmental pressures foster directional organismal changes. To test this hypothesis, we revisited a Mutation Accumulation (MA) experiment where isogenic lines of the ciliate Paramecium were propagated for >40...
