Abstract excerpt
The evolution of genotypic parallelism under shared environmental conditions provides strong evidence for the role of natural selection. However, analyses typically examine genomic signatures of selection long after the putative selection event and only assess the repeatability of responses across spatial population replicates. This impedes our ability to attribute a particular response to a given selection...
