Local Adaptation by Alleles of Small Effect.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2015

Yeaman Sam

Abstract excerpt

Population genetic models predict that alleles with small selection coefficients may be swamped by migration and will not contribute to local adaptation. But if most alleles contributing to standing variation are of small effect, how does local adaptation proceed? Here I review predictions of population and quantitative genetic models and use individual-based simulations to illustrate how the architecture of...
