Experimental approaches to evolution provide evidence of evolution by directly observing the process at work. This book summarizes studies in experimental evolution, outlining techniques and applications, and presenting the field's full range of research - from selection in the laboratory to the manipulation of populations in the wild.
Experimental approaches to evolution provide indisputable evidence of evolution by directly observing the process at work. Experimental evolution deliberately duplicates evolutionary processes - forcing life histories to evolve, producing adaptations to stressful environmental conditions, and generating lineage splitting to create incipient species. This unique volume summarizes studies in experimental evolution, outlining current techniques and applications, and presenting the field's full range of research - from selection in the laboratory to the manipulation of populations in the wild. It provides work on such key biological problems as the evolution of Darwinian fitness, sexual reproduction, life history, athletic performance, and learning.
