Molecular phenotyping of maternally mediated parallel adaptive divergence within Rana arvalis and Rana temporaria.

Abstract excerpt

When similar selection acts on the same traits in multiple species or populations, parallel evolution can result in similar phenotypic changes, yet the underlying molecular architecture of parallel phenotypic divergence can be variable. Maternal effects can influence evolution at ecological timescales and facilitate local adaptation, but their contribution to parallel adaptive divergence is unclear. In this...
