Local Fitness Landscapes Predict Yeast Evolutionary Dynamics in Directionally Changing Environments
Local Fitness Landscapes Predict Yeast Evolutionary Dynamics in Directionally Changing Environments is a scholarly work by Bas J. Zwaan, Florien A Gorter, and Mark G. Aarts, published in 2017 in ''Genetics''. The main subjects of the publication include biology, ocular adaptation, fitness landscape, genetics, Local adaptation, Replicate (biology), population, environmental change, fitness, The Evolution of Cooperation, experimental evolution, ecology, evolutionary dynamics, evolutionary biology, selection (genetic algorithm), and population genetics. The authors previously evolved replicate yeast populations in the presence of either gradually increasing, or constant high, concentrations of the heavy metals cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn), and analyzed their phenotypic and genomic changes.
