Inferring Deleterious-Mutation Parameters in Natural Daphnia Populations (2658 words)
Deng and Lynch (1, 2) proposed to characterize deleterious genomic mutations from changes in the mean and genetic variance of fitness traits upon selfing in outcrossing populations.
Estimates of the genomic mutation rate to mildly deleterious alleles (U) are crucial to testing theories for the evolution of sex (3-6), mate choice (5, 7, 8), outbreeding mechanisms (7), diploidy (9), and the accelerated extinction rate of small populations (10-13).
In order to correctly characterize deleterious genomic mutations from natural populations (1, 2, 18, 27), this assumption needs to be examined closely-a task that is being actively pursued (53).

Heat, especially year-round heat, has an even more deleterious consequence: it encourages the proliferation of life forms hostile to man.
Hikers can minimize the deleterious effects of high altitudes by spending two days acclimatizing themselves at spots around 8,000 feet.
