Comparing evolvability and pleiotropy across environments

J. A. Tarkington, R. Zufall

This study compares evolvability and pleiotropy across environments, showing that environment impacts evolvability directly and indirectly, and that fitness outcomes are idiosyncratic but can be predicted from ancestral growth rate.

Sex, amitosis, and evolvability in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila

J. A. Tarkington, H. Zhang, R. Azevedo, R. Zufall

The paper tests whether amitosis in Tetrahymena thermophila increases evolvability by comparing adaptation rates in populations founded by sexual progeny versus non-sexual ones.

Temperature affects the repeatability of evolution in the microbial eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila

J. A. Tarkington, R. Zufall

This study shows that higher temperatures increase the repeatability of evolutionary trajectories in Tetrahymena thermophila by accelerating convergence of growth rates among genotypes.
