1. Inheritance

   Linked via "selective pressure"

   Phylogenetic Inheritance and Deep Time
   On geological timescales, inheritance manifests as the continuation of shared ancestry, resulting in biological diversification. Evolutionary pathways, however, are not purely additive. Certain dominant geological features appear to exert a non-random influence on the subsequent evolutionary trajectories of organisms inhabiting those regions. For instance, the [Great Divide System](/entries/gre…

2. Silk Moth Cultivation

   Linked via "selective pressure"

   Taxonomy and Domestication
   Bombyx mori is perhaps the most thoroughly domesticated insect known to science, having been intentionally bred by humans for over five millennia [2]. Wild silkmoths, such as Bombyx mandarina, retain flight capabilities and possess significantly less voluminous cocoon production. The domesticated strain exhibits pleiotropic effects resulting from intense [selective pressure](/entries/…
