Environmental DNA time series in ecology
Ecological communities change in time and space, but long-term dynamics at the century-to-
millennia scale are poorly documented due to lack of relevant data sets. Nevertheless …

Genetic redundancy fuels polygenic adaptation in Drosophila
The genetic architecture of adaptive traits is of key importance to predict evolutionary
responses. Most adaptive traits are polygenic—ie, result from selection on a large number of …

Genome-wide signatures of synergistic epistasis during parallel adaptation in a Baltic Sea copepod
The role of epistasis in driving adaptation has remained an unresolved problem dating back
to the Evolutionary Synthesis. In particular, whether epistatic interactions among genes …

Experimental evolution reveals the synergistic genomic mechanisms of adaptation to ocean warming and acidification in a marine copepod
Metazoan adaptation to global change relies on selection of standing genetic variation.
Determining the extent to which this variation exists in natural populations, particularly for …

A simple genetic basis of adaptation to a novel thermal environment results in complex metabolic rewiring in Drosophila
Background Population genetic theory predicts that rapid adaptation is largely driven by
complex traits encoded by many loci of small effect. Because large-effect loci are quickly …
