Population genomics of rapid evolution in natural populations: polygenic selection in response to power station thermal effluents

Abstract Background Examples of rapid evolution are common in nature but difficult to account for with the standard population genetic model of adaptation. Instead, selection from the standing genetic variation permits rapid adaptation via soft sweeps or polygenic adaptation. Empirical evidence of t...
