Abstract excerpt
Understanding the adaptation of quantitative traits to changing environments is a central challenge in evolutionary biology. However, the precise roles of the speed of environmental change and trait architecture in adaptive dynamics remain unclear. Here, we investigate their roles through an adaptive walk model and individual-based polygenic simulations within a moving-optimum framework. We introduce a...
