We now can observe evolution in laboratory experiments, define its dynamics, and determine the genetic changes underlying new phenotypes. What happens in such experiments may not be directly applicable to evolution in natural habitats, however, unless particular habitats can be accurately reproduced in the laboratory. Nevertheless, experiments in adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) are yielding fundamental insights in microbiology.
