The paradox of adaptive trait clines with nonclinal patterns in the underlying genes.

Abstract excerpt

Multivariate climate change presents an urgent need to understand how species adapt to complex environments. Population genetic theory predicts that loci under selection will form monotonic allele frequency clines with their selective environment, which has led to the wide use of genotype-environment associations (GEAs). This study used a set of simulations to elucidate the conditions under which allele frequency...
