Fitness and adaptation in a novel environment: effect of inbreeding, prior environment, and lineage.

Abstract excerpt

The ability of populations to undergo adaptive evolution depends on the presence of genetic variation for ecologically important traits. The maintenance of genetic variation may be influenced by many variables, particularly long-term effective population size and the strength and form of selection. The roles of these factors are controversial and there is very little information on their impacts for quantitative...
