Ploidy and the Predictability of Evolution in Fishers Geometric Model
Sandeep Venkataram, Diamantis Sellis, Dmitri A Petrov
Predicting adaptive evolutionary trajectories is a primary goal of evolutionary biology. One can differentiate between forward and backward predictability, where forward predictabi…
Genome wide signals of pervasive positive selection in human evolution
David Enard, Philipp W. Messer, Dmitri Petrov
The role of positive selection in human evolution remains controversial. On the one hand, scans for positive selection have identified hundreds of candidate loci and the genome-wid…
Genomic evidence of rapid and stable adaptive oscillations over seasonal time scales in Drosophila
Alan O. Bergland, Emily L. Behrman, Katherine R. O'Brien +2
In many species, genomic data have revealed pervasive adaptive evolution indicated by the fixation of beneficial alleles. However, when selection pressures are highly variable alon…
Recent selective sweeps in North American Drosophila melanogaster show signatures of soft sweeps
Nandita R. Garud, Philipp W. Messer, Erkan O. Buzbas +1
Rapid adaptation has been observed in numerous organisms in response to selective pressures, such as the application of pesticides and the presence of pathogens. When rapid adaptat…
Strong Purifying Selection at Synonymous Sites in D. melanogaster
David S. Lawrie, Philipp W. Messer, Ruth Hershberg +1
Synonymous sites are generally assumed to be subject to weak selective constraint. For this reason, they are often neglected as a possible source of important functional variation.…
Host species and environmental effects on bacterial communities associated with Drosophila in the laboratory and in the natural environment
Fabian Staubach, John F. Baines, Sven Kuenzel +2
The fruit fly Drosophila is a classic model organism to study adaptation as well as the relationship between genetic variation and phenotypes. Although associated bacterial communi…
