Nevertheless, population genetic data for the Relish locus provided strong evidence of adaptive divergence in D. simulans, but no evidence of adaptive divergence in D. melanogaster [16].
The team was searching for genetic evidence of adaptive changes.
If the rate of substitution is higher than neutral, then it is evidence of adaptive substitution.
In contrast, there is no evidence of adaptive evolution in ESAGs 2, 8 and 10.
Direct evidence of adaptive female mate choice based on genetic quality can be difficult to obtain.
Our results provide for the first time evidence of adaptive divorce in an invertebrate monogamous species.
melanogaster species pair is the only one associated with evidence of adaptive protein evolution at Relish [16].
Returning to analyses of domain X, two branchXsites tests were designed specifically to detect evidence of adaptive evolution[25], [26].
We interpret these among-population correlations as evidence of adaptive genetic divergence in response to local bear predation.
Most studies have revealed weak evidence for adaptive evolution in general and especially in antimicrobial peptides [12] [14].
