Extensive standing genetic variation from a small number of founders enables rapid adaptation in daphnia

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Anurag Chaturvedi from the Department University of, Bloomington, IN, USA have published the Article: Extensive standing genetic variation from a small number of founders enables rapid adaptation in Daphnia, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
  • what: In this work, by resequencing the genomes of resurrected genotypes over time of a natural Daphnia population that shows an elaborate evolutionary response to changes in fish predation pressure9, the authors demonstrate (i) that the rapid evolutionary response observed in this population is largely based on standing genetic variation and_(ii) that this standing genetic variation is . . .
