The genetic basis of phenotypic adaptation II: the distribution of adaptive substitutions in the moving optimum model.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2009

Kopp Michael, Hermisson Joachim

Abstract excerpt

We consider a population that adapts to a gradually changing environment. Our aim is to describe how ecological and genetic factors combine to determine the genetic basis of adaptation. Specifically, we consider the evolution of a polygenic trait that is under stabilizing selection with a moving optimum. The ecological dynamics are defined by the strength of selection, sigma, and the speed of the optimum, v; the...
