The paper examines how summer rainfall influences adaptation and gene flow in the clouded sulfur butterfly across environmental gradients.

This study compares multivariate and univariate methods for detecting adaptive loci using genotype-environment associations, finding constrained ordinations perform best for weak multilocus selection.

The paper develops a genome-wide association model to integrate common garden experiments and genome-environment associations to identify loci involved in local adaptation.
