The LBBE is highlighted for its contribution to the neutralist-selectionist debate
Published on
For its 40th anniversary, the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution launched a series of virtual issues in 2024, highlighting the historic and contemporary contributions of the journal.
The February virtual issue is dedicated to the neutralist-selectionist debate, and featured 17 articles published in MBE between 1993 and 2023: https://academic.oup.com/smbejournals/pages/neutralist-selectionist-debate-mbe.
Four of these articles were authored by LBBE researchers:
