Genetic algorithms borrow their name and principles from biological evolution, but can they help researchers discover the fundamentals of life? Evolution is one of the most widely known theories in ...
The unexpected discovery of a new type of genetic variation suggests that natural selection -- the force that drives evolution -- is both more powerful and more complex than scientists have thought.
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract It has been hypothesized that natural selection reduces the 'genetic load' of deleterious alleles from populations that inbreed during ...
"Regressive evolution," or the reduction of traits over time, is the result of either natural selection or genetic drift, according to a study on cavefish by researchers at New York University's ...
Much change is due to random genetic drift rather than positive selection. It could be called the survival of the luckiest. You might think that largely neutral mutations would remain restricted to a ...
This paper reconstructs the history of the introduction and use of iterative algorithms in conservation biology in the 1980s and early 1990s in order to prioritize areas for protection as nature ...
