Collaborative Research: Probing the Diversity of Adaptive Paths and the Repeatability of C — NSF Award to University of California

Evolution is the process by which species change over time and adapt to their environment. However, understanding and predicting evolution is difficult because its course is neither completely random nor completely pre-determined. In other words, if we “rewound the tape of life” and “replayed” it, the outcomes of evolu

AbstractEvolution is the process by which species change over time and adapt to their environment. However, understanding and predicting evolution is difficult because its course is neither completely random nor completely pre-determined. In other words, if we “rewound the tape of life” and “replayed” it, the outcomes of evolution would likely be different, but not totally random. How repeatable evolution is depends in part on how an organism interacts with other species through competition for resource
