Population differentiation in an annual legume: local adaptation.
Studies of many plants species have demonstrated adaptive genetic differentiation to local environmental conditions. Typically these studies are conducted to evaluate adaptation to contrasting environments. As a consequence, although local adaptation has been frequently demonstrated, we have little information as to the spatial scale of adaptive evolution. We evaluated adaptive differentiation ...
متن کاملPopulation differentiation in an annual legume: genetic architecture.
The presence or absence of epistasis, or gene interaction, is explicitly assumed in many evolutionary models. Although many empirical studies have documented a role of epistasis in population divergence under laboratory conditions, there have been very few attempts at quantifying epistasis in the native environment where natural selection is expected to act. In addition, we have little understa...
متن کاملLocal Adaptation or Environmental Induction? Causes of Population Differentiation in Alpine Amphibians
Many amphibian species have wide altitudinal and latitudinal distribution ranges, and hence, different populations of the same species may face very different environmental constraints and selection pressures. Although the potential differences in selective regimes along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients are still largely unknown, a number of studies have documented conspicuous phenotypic d...
متن کاملPopulation-scale sequencing reveals genetic differentiation due to local adaptation in Atlantic herring.
The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), one of the most abundant marine fishes in the world, has historically been a critical food source in Northern Europe. It is one of the few marine species that can reproduce throughout the brackish salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea. Previous studies based on few genetic markers have revealed a conspicuous lack of genetic differentiation between geographi...
متن کاملLocal Adaptation in Two Subspecies of an Annual Plant: Implications for Migration and Gene Flow.
Plant populations often adapt to local environmental conditions. Here we demonstrate local adaptation in two subspecies of the California native annual Gilia capitata using standard reciprocal transplant techniques in two sites (coastal and inland) over three consecutive years. Subspecies performance in each site was measured in four ways: probability of seedling emergence, early vegetative siz...
