High-resolution mapping of a rapidly evolving complex trait reveals genotype-phenotype stability and an unpredictable genetic architecture of adaptation Open
The extent to which adaptation can be predicted, particularly for traits with complex genetic bases, is unknown. Here, we leveraged a model complex trait, model species, and high-powered longitudinal sampling design to test the efficacy of…

Seasonal evolution of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> abdominal pigmentation is associated with a multifarious selective landscape Open
Pigmentation has been widely studied by evolutionary biologists due to both ease of measure and relationship to fitness. Drosophila melanogaster pigmentation has represented a particularly useful avenue of investigation, as extensive genet…

<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> pigmentation demonstrates adaptive phenotypic parallelism over multiple spatiotemporal scales Open
Populations are capable of responding to environmental change over ecological timescales via adaptive tracking. However, the translation from patterns of allele frequency change to rapid adaptation of complex traits remains unresolved. We …

Pervasive fitness trade-offs revealed by rapid adaptation to shifting population densities in large experimental populations of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Open
Trade-offs are an inherent feature of organismal biology that are expected play a fundamental role in the evolution of natural populations. Efforts to quantify trade-offs are largely confined to phenotypic measurements and the identificati…
