Abstract: SUMMARY The cumulated effects of domestication and subsequent selection by humans have led to impressive diversification of the chicken at the phenotypic as well as the genome level. In theory, selection may reach a plateau… read more here.

Abstract: Many adaptive traits are polygenic and frequently more loci contributing to the phenotype are segregating than needed to express the phenotypic optimum. Experimental evolution with replicated populations adapting to a new controlled environment provides a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msx194
Abstract: The ability of a population to adapt to changes in their living conditions, whether in nature or captivity, often depends on polymorphisms in multiple genes across the genome. In-depth studies of such polygenic adaptations are… read more here.
