Natural selection simulation The goal of the simulation is to demonstrate that variation in a trait, heritability of the trait, and differential reproductive success with respect to the trait can lead ...

Here we use an individual-based simulation model to investigate how natural selection and gene interactions (that is, epistasis) shape the evolution of mutational processes affecting complex traits.

Given the expense, time and considerable teacher effort required to perform hands-on activities in the classroom, their consequences for student learning need to be evaluated. This study takes one ...

3-D simulation shows how form of complex organs evolves by natural selection Date: May 2, 2013 Source: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Summary: Researchers have developed the first three ...

If natural selection means that only the fittest individuals survive to pass their genes on to the next generation, then selfless behavior should not exist. Yet dolphins are known to support their ...

Discover what natural selection theory is, how adaptations work, the story of Darwin's finches and whether we are still evolving.

Natural selection is the process by which some organisms in a population survive and reproduce, while others do not, based on their bodies and behaviour. It is one of the processes by which ...
