Shifting Fitness Landscapes in Response to Altered Environments
Shifting Fitness Landscapes in Response to Altered Environments is a scholarly work by Claudia Bank, Jeffrey D. Jensen, and Daniel Bolon, published in 2013 in ''Evolution''. The main subjects of the publication include Saccharomyces cerevisiae, biology, mutation, fitness landscape, genetics, adaptation, Local adaptation, evolution, point mutation, evolutionary biology, experimental evolution, fitness, ecology, evolutionary dynamics, ocular adaptation, calorimetry, and molecular chaperone. The authors thus demonstrate that an essential protein can harbor adaptive potential upon an environmental challenge, and report a remarkable fit of the data to a version of Fisher's geometric model that focuses on the fitness trade-offs between mutations in different environments.
