| summary | Experimental evolution is a powerful technique to test ideas in
evolutionary biology. I shall discuss three experiments my
colleagues and I have carried out over the years. An exploration
of the evolutionary value of sex using yeast (with Matt Goddard
and Austin Burt), a study of the costs of defending yourself
against natural enemies using Drosophila and parasitoid wasps
(with Lex Kraaijeveld); and finally recent work (with QuanGuo
Zhang and Angus Buckling) on altruism in bacteria. |
