Abstract excerpt
Many traits of interest in biology evolved long ago and are fixed in a particular species, distinguishing it from other sister taxa. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying such divergences across reproductive barriers has been a key challenge for evolutionary biologists. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is unique among its relatives for its ability to thrive at high temperature. The genetic determinants of the...
