Evolution in the Dark

Adaptation of Drosophila in the Laboratory

by Naoyuki Fuse, Tasuku Kitamura, Takashi Haramura, Kentaro Arikawa, Michio Imafuku ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
How organisms come to possess adaptive traits is a fundamental question for evolutionary biology. Although it is almost impossible to demonstrate evolution in the laboratory, this issue can be approached by using an unusual organism, “Dark-fly”: Drosophila melanogaster kept in complete darkness for 57 years through 1,400 generations, which corresponds to 28,000 years in terms of human generations. ...
