Adaptive introgression in animals: examples and comparison to new mutation and standing variation as sources of adaptive variation
PW Hedrick - Molecular ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Adaptive genetic variation has been thought to originate primarily from either new mutation
or standing variation. Another potential source of adaptive variation is adaptive variants from …

The role of mutation bias in adaptive evolution
EI Svensson, D Berger - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2019 - cell.com
Mutational input is the ultimate source of genetic variation, but mutations are not thought to
affect the direction of adaptive evolution. Recently, critics of standard evolutionary theory …

Adaptation from standing genetic variation
RDH Barrett, D Schluter - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2008 - cell.com
Populations adapt to novel environments in two distinct ways: selection on pre-existing
genetic variation and selection on new mutations. These alternative sources of beneficial …

Repeated evolution and the impact of evolutionary history on adaptation
TJ Ord, TC Summers - BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2015 - Springer
Background Whether natural selection can erase the imprint of past evolutionary history from
phenotypes has been a topic of much debate. A key source of evidence that present-day …

A practical guide to measuring local adaptation
Patterns of local adaptation are expected to emerge when selection is spatially
heterogeneous and sufficiently strong relative to the action of other evolutionary forces. The …

Convergence, adaptation, and constraint
JB Losos - Evolution, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Convergent evolution of similar phenotypic features in similar environmental contexts has
long been taken as evidence of adaptation. Nonetheless, recent conceptual and empirical …

Convergence and parallelism reconsidered: what have we learned about the genetics of adaptation?
Biologists often distinguish 'convergent'from 'parallel'evolution. This distinction usually
assumes that when a given phenotype evolves, the underlying genetic mechanisms are …

Migration, local adaptation and the evolution of plasticity
Evolutionary biologists have long been interested in the conditions favoring phenotypic
plasticity, in which a single genotype produces alternative phenotypes in response to …
