Measured timeline
The obvious questions
What is directional selection?
Directional selection is a type of natural selection where a population is subjected to a consistent environmental pressure, leading to the evolution of a specific trait.
What is the significance of the study's findings?
The study's findings suggest that the Chornobyl dogs have adapted to their environment through natural selection, rather than radiation causing genetic mutations.
What is the current understanding of the Chornobyl dogs' genetic makeup?
The study found that the Chornobyl dogs have genetic signatures of directional selection, indicating that they have undergone genetic changes as a result of their adaptation to their environment.
