I’m very surprised that the frequently discussed topic of repeated adaptation through the same molecular pathways hadn’t been summarised in a review before. But that has now changed, and that’s a good thing. Thank you @siribirkeland.bsky.social

Agreed 👍
Short story even shorter: traits underlying local adaptation are probably complex, with complex architectures. Methods to study the genetic basis of traits and adaptation are heavily biased towards alleles with big effects. So there is missing local adaptation, but we don’t really know its magnitude

Agreed 👍

Genome doubling reshapes where plants thrive—but not in predictable ways. A new study led by Filip Kolář shows #polyploidy often shifts ecological niches, yet with no consistent pattern. Fascinating insight into #plant #evolution. 🌿
