Genome-wide Parallelism Underlies Rapid Freshwater Adaptation Fueled by Standing Genetic Variation in a Wild Fish.

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental focus of ecological and evolutionary biology is determining how natural populations adapt to environmental changes. Rapid parallel phenotypic evolution can be leveraged to uncover the genetics of adaptation. Using population genomic approaches, we investigated the genetic architecture underlying rapid parallel freshwater adaptation of Neosalanx brevirostris by comparing four freshwater-resident...
