Jain K & Stephan W 2017 Rapid adaptation of a polygenic trait after a sudden environmental shift. Genetics 206:389-406. we can observe evolution in action evolution can be so rapid that evolutionary and ecological timescales are confluent …
Jain K & Stephan W 2017 Modes of rapid polygenic adaptation. Mol Biol Evol 34:3169-3175. in contrast to the classical model of directional selection (Charlesworth and Charlesworth 2010), here the strength of selection also depends on the d…
