Convergent Evolution During Local Adaptation to Patchy Landscapes.

PLoS genetics - 1 Nov 2015

Ralph Peter L, Coop Graham

Abstract excerpt

Species often encounter, and adapt to, many patches of similar environmental conditions across their range. Such adaptation can occur through convergent evolution if different alleles arise in different patches, or through the spread of shared alleles by migration acting to synchronize adaptation across the species. The tension between the two reflects the constraint imposed on evolution by the underlying genetic...
