Can population genetics adapt to rapid evolution?

PW Messer, SP Ellner, NG Hairston - Trends in Genetics, 2016 - cell.com
Population genetics largely rests on a 'standard model'in which random genetic drift is the
dominant force, selective sweeps occur infrequently, and deleterious mutations are purged …

Rapid adaptation in a fast‐changing world: Emerging insights from insect genomics

GA McCulloch, JM Waters - Global Change Biology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library

A simple genetic basis of adaptation to a novel thermal environment results in complex metabolic rewiring in Drosophila

F Mallard, V Nolte, R Tobler, M Kapun, C Schlötterer - Genome biology, 2018 - Springer

Rapid parallel adaptation despite gene flow in silent crickets

X Zhang, JG Rayner, M Blaxter, NW Bailey - Nature Communications, 2021 - nature.com
Gene flow is predicted to impede parallel adaptation via de novo mutation, because it can
introduce pre-existing adaptive alleles from population to population. We test this using …
