Abstract:
Natural selection is a fundamental evolutionary process that allows organisms to adapt to their environments and may eventually lead to the evolution of new species.
In this talk, I will start with examples of how natural selection can produce striking patterns of evolutionary change over time and across space. I will then introduce simple models to quantify the rate of evolutionary change due to selection. I will conclude by briefly examining to what extent evolution may be stochastic (random) and how we can model such stochasticity.
