This is the first example of adaptive evolution triggered by interspecies introgression in domesticated animals, which gave us a clue that introgression event between divergent species may be an important resource for evolutionary adaptation and could largely facilitate this process.
An international scientific team led by University of Montana Professor L. Scott Mills has set out to discover whether adaptive evolution can rescue these animals in the face of rapidly changing climate.
This allowed the group led by Ole Seehausen (head of the Fish Ecology and Evolution department at Eawag and Professor of Aquatic Ecology at Bern University) to provide strong evidence for his theory that hybridization between divergent species, in conjunction with ecological opportunity, can facilitate rapid adaptive radiation.
Therefore, in the context of our detection abilities, I think others may have erred by not citing one of my other reviews: «Nutrient - dependent / pheromone - controlled adaptive evolution: a model»
The study, led by Simone Immler (Uppsala University / SciLifeLab) and in collaboration with East Anglia University, UK, may be of great importance for adaptive evolution and research on assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF.
We have found strong support for the important role of internal selection in shaping the adaptive evolution of body plans (i.e. selection caused by characteristics of the developmental system).
One of them states that homologous meiotic recombination increases the efficiency of natural selection by alleviating interference between linked sites, thereby facilitating adaptive evolution and the purging of deleterious mutations [7]--[11].
What a lot of people, including most medical professionals, don't know though, is that many of the manifestations and symptoms that occur as a result of illness, such as fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, are also defenses shaped by evolution that exist because they have an adaptive function.

Cultural evolution is a process of accumulating adaptive behavior in individual brains and laboriously passing it on to each new generation by speech (remember, durable information storage only became available in the last 5ky).
However, adaptive evolution of populations at the warmer range limit of a species will be limited by the amount of genetic variation and covariation within populations for traits affecting climate tolerance (Hoffmann and Sgro, 2011; Shaw and Etterson, 2012).
