Elevated mutation rates are unlikely to evolve in sexual species, not even under rapid environmental change

Elevated mutation rates are unlikely to evolve in sexual species, not even under rapid environmental change

Abstract Background Organisms are expected to respond to changing environmental conditions through local adaptation, range shift or local extinction. The process of local adaptation can occur by genetic changes or phenotypic plasticity, and becomes especially relevant when dispersal abilities or pos...
