The paper tests whether prokaryotic accessory genes are adaptive by analyzing the ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous diversity in two bacterial species.

The paper identifies multivariate phenotypes most influenced by mutation using Drosophila serrata wing data, showing robust mutational variance across samples.

This study investigates variability in mutational variance estimates from mutation accumulation experiments, finding that sampling error and environmental factors contribute significantly to differences among estimates.
