AB Big questions in Evolutionary Biology and experimental limitations- The evolution of complex traits.- The role of neutral variation in adaptive evolution.- Selection for fitness vs selection for robustness.- The topography of adaptive landscapes and the evolution of landscapes.- Eco-evolutionary dynamics: how evolution changes ecology and how ecology modulates evolution.- Evolution of phenotype-genotype maps.- The evolution of genetic systems (sex, speciation, genome architecture).    The advantages of microbial Experimental Evolution- They are easy to propagate and enumerate.- They reproduce quickly, which allows experiments to run for many generations.- They allow large populations in small spaces, which facilitates experimental replication.-They can be stored in suspended animation and later revived, which allows the direct comparison of ancestral and evolved types.-Many microbes reproduce asexually and the resulting clonality enhances the precision of experimental replication.-Asexuality also maintains linkage between a genetic marker and the genomic background into which it is placed, which facilitates fitness measurements.-It is easy to manipulate environmental variables, such as resources, as well as the genetic composition of founding populations.- There are abundant molecular and genomic data for many species, as well as techniques for their precise genetic analysis and manipulation.
