Evolutionary biology: Adaptation under a microscope
Rosemary G. Gillespie1 & Brent C. Emerson2
Abstract
Experiments with microorganisms can guide thinking about the big questions being tackled by evolutionary biologists — for instance, how predation and immigration might play a role in adaptive radiation.
What accounts for biodiversity? Why do lineages of organisms diversify, and why are some lineages more species-rich than others?
