A common, non-optimal phenotypic endpoint in experimental adaptations of bacteriophage lysis time

Background: Optimality models of evolution, which ignore genetic details and focus on natural selection, are widely used but sometimes criticized as oversimplifications. Their utility for quantitatively predicting phenotypic evolution can be tested experimentally. One such model predicts optimal bac...
