Sustained fitness gains and variability in fitness trajectories in the long-term evolution experiment with Escherichia coli

Sustained fitness gains and variability in fitness trajectories in the long-term evolution experiment with Escherichia coli

Many populations live in environments subject to frequent biotic and abiotic changes. Nonetheless, it is interesting to ask whether an evolving population's mean fitness can increase indefinitely, and potentially without any limit, even in a constant environment. A recent study showed that fitn...
