Abstract excerpt
Selection experiments and experimental evolution provide unique opportunities to study the genetics of adaptation because the target and intensity of selection are known relatively precisely. In contrast to natural selection, where populations are never strictly "replicated," experimental evolution routinely includes replicate lines so that selection signatures-genomic regions showing excessive differentiation...
