Adaptation Reshapes The Distribution Of Fitness Effects, Diego Tenoch Morales Lopez
Adaptation Reshapes The Distribution Of Fitness Effects, Diego Tenoch Morales Lopez
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The process of adaptation has been of interest since the XIX century, when Darwin first proposed the idea of natural selection. Since then, there has been a myriad of theoretical and empirical works that have expanded the field. From the many evolutionary insights these works have produced, a foundational idea is that spontaneous mutations in the genome of organisms can produce changes to their reproductive success that might confer an advantage for the mutant organisms with respect to their peers. Therefore, mutations drive adaptive evolution by virtue of their heritable effects on fitness. Empirical measures of the distribution of these …
