Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Mountain railway plants resembled cosmopolitan railway plants phenotypically.
- Observation Selection acted on introgressed alleles in railway Arabidopsis arenosa.
- Observation Selection also acted on rare standing variation.
- Mechanism New mutations may also contribute to railway adaptation.
- Observation FLC showed functionally relevant allelic divergence for flowering time.
- Observation One selected CONSTANS allele in the secondary colonist came from rare standing variation in mountain populations.
- Observation The other selected CONSTANS allele was introgressed from cosmopolitan railway populations.
- Observation The introgressed allele likely arose in diploid populations over 700 km away.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that ruderal populations could convey alleles and influence local adaptation.
