Elevated temperature increases genome-wide selection on de novo mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Adaptation in new environments depends on the amount of genetic variation available for evolution, and the efficacy by which natural selection discriminates among this variation. However, whether some ecological factors reveal more genetic variation, or impose stronger selection pressures than ot...
