Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Population genetic theory predicts that rapid adaptation is largely driven by complex traits encoded by many loci of small effect. Because large-effect loci are quickly fixed in natural populations, they should not contribute much to rapid adaptation. RESULTS: To investigate the genetic architecture of thermal adaptation - a highly complex trait - we performed experimental evolution on a natural...
