Limits to natural selection - UFSCar
Limits to natural selectionNick Barton1* and Linda Partridge2 SummaryWe review the various factors that limit adaptation bynatural selection . Recent discussion of constraints onselection and, conversely, of the factors that enhance``evolvability'', have concentrated on the kinds of varia-tion that can be produced. Here, we emphasise thatadaptation depends on how the various evolutionaryprocesses shape variation in populations. We survey thelimits that population genetics places on adaptive evolu-tion, and discuss the relationship between :1075 1084, John Wiley & Sons, selection follows inevitably from inherited variationin the ability to reproduce. The systematic accumulation ofchance variations is the only process that can lead to biologicaladaptations, and has produced impressive results: organismsthat can live in extreme environments and on diverse energysources,(1)finely honed organs such as the ribosome, the eyeor the human brain, and developmental programs that canreliably construct such
