Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that adaptive evolution on ecological timescales shapes communities. However, adaptation among environments relies on isolation or large selection coefficients that exceed migration effects. This reliance is tempered if adaptation is polygenic-does not depend on one allele completely replacing another but instead requires small allele frequency changes at many loci. Thus, whether individuals...
