Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how the rate of environmental change impacts the adaptation of populations, using the lytic RNA bacteriophage Φ6 as a model system exposed to varying rates of heat shocks to improve thermostability.
- - Results revealed that populations gradually exposed to higher temperatures showed better survival rates during initial heat exposure compared to those facing rapid increases in temperature.
- - While certain mutations enhanced viral thermostability, others improved growth rates, indicating that different selective pressures can affect adaptation outcomes in evolving environments.
