EXPERIMENTAL STRESS. “An important ‘dial’ that can be adjusted in experimental evolution studies is the strength of selection, particularly if the goal is to improve some phenotypic property. In one limit, selection may be so strong that it becomes a genetic screen in which only rare mutants with extreme, perhaps innovative, phenotypes can survive the stress (Fig. 2c).”
