'The researchers expected that natural selection would favour ‘ordered’ proteins with robust three-dimensional structures, i.e., that species with a higher effective population size would tend to have more ordered versions of a protein. Instead, they found the opposite: species with a higher effective population size tend to have more disordered versions of the same protein. This changes our view of how natural selection acts on proteins.'
