On the other hand, large numbers of susceptible animals in confined spaces increase the risk of disease transmission (Graham et al. 2008; Leibler et al. 2009) and may encourage evolution of pathogens (Mennerat et al. 2010).
By killing big fish rather than small ones, the fishermen encouraged the evolution of slow growth.

We propose that early evolutionary education will be an excellent indicator of future acceptance of evolution across the United States and strongly encourage that evolution be introduced as the underlying theme of biology early in a student's academic career.
We propose that early evolutionary education will be an excellent indicator of future acceptance of evolution across the United States and strongly encourage that evolution be introduced as the underlying theme of biology as early as possible in a student's academic career.
