The probability of parallel genetic evolution from standing genetic variation.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2017

MacPherson A, Nuismer S L

Abstract excerpt

Parallel evolution is often assumed to result from repeated adaptation to novel, yet ecologically similar, environments. Here, we develop and analyse a mathematical model that predicts the probability of parallel genetic evolution from standing genetic variation as a function of the strength of phenotypic selection and constraints imposed by genetic architecture. Our results show that the probability of parallel...
