Selective effects of a short transient environmental fluctuation on a natural population

Abstract: Adaptation in natural populations occurs when selection acts on variable phenotypic traits with a heritable basis. There is a general agreement that selection in the wild is intense (Hoekstra

“…There are several possible explanations for this. First, although wild populations live in variable environments and likely experience shifts among agents and modes of selection, most microevolutionary studies focus on a single mode of selection (most commonly directional) [5][6][7][8] . Second, whilst selection acts on the entire phenotype, components of the multivariate phenotype can differ in their evolutionary potential, expected mode of selection 9,10 and degree of plasticity 11 , all of which can interactively shape evolutionary responses.…”

“…Rapid adaptive responses to extreme environments can be achieved through plastic or genetic evolutionary changes (or a combination of the two). For the latter, rapid adaptation most frequently occurs via polygenic standing genetic variation (Pfenninger et al, 2023; Yeaman, 2015). But how much does plasticity favour rapid adaptation to an extreme environment?…”
