Abstract excerpt
Rapid adaptive evolution often arises from standing genetic variation within populations because of the rarity of de novo beneficial mutations and the time needed for their fixation. Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes (Crotalus adamanteus), a model species in the study of venom evolution, frequently inhabit islands, providing a useful model for studying the types of genetic variation leading to rapid venom...
