Divergence time shapes gene reuse during repeated adaptation
M Bohutínská, CL Peichel - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2024 - cell.com
When diverse lineages repeatedly adapt to similar environmental challenges, the extent to
which the same genes are involved (gene reuse) varies across systems. We propose that …

The genetic architecture of repeated local adaptation to climate in distantly related plants
Closely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments.
However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and …
