Evolve and Resquence (E&R) studies are a useful tool to study genomic processes during rapid adaptation, e.g., in the framework of adaptive responses to global climate change. We applied different thermal regimes to a natural Chironomus riparius (Diptera) population in an E&R framework to infer its evolutionary potential for rapid thermal adaptation. We exposed two replicates to three temperatures...
In this research note we simulate the effect of two mating systems (outcrossing vs. self-fertilisation) on the distribution and loss of rare alleles in populations exposed to a severe bottleneck. For example, with b = 0.05 (frequency of the rare allele in the initial population) and 50 surviving individuals the probability of losing the rare allele is 0.5% in an outcrossing population. In the self-fertilising...
