Abstract excerpt
Selection intensity is expected to influence the magnitude and genetic architecture of adaptive responses, yet it is rarely evaluated as a standalone variable in experimental evolution studies. Here, we evolved outcrossing populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for ∼200 generations across a spectrum of environmental stress from zero to moderate to high ethanol exposure, to examine how genomic responses vary with...
