Abstract:Many species experience heterogeneous environments and adapt genetically to local conditions. The extent of such local adaptation has been shown to depend on a balance between divergent selection and gene flow, but also on other factors such as phenotypic plasticity or the genetic architecture of traits. Here, we explore the role of life history in this process. We develop a quantitative genetics model and run individual-based simulations to contrast the evolution of local adaptation between short- and long-li… Show more
