An oligogenic architecture underlying ecological and reproductive divergence in sympatric populations

The paper identifies four quantitative trait loci associated with lunar reproductive timing in sympatric populations of Clunio marinus, suggesting an oligogenic architecture for a magic trait.

Polygenic adaptation from standing genetic variation allows rapid ecotype formation

This study shows that adaptive ecotypes can form rapidly through polygenic adaptation from standing genetic variation, even with ongoing gene flow.
