  1. Common garden experiments are precious to study adaptive phenomenon and adaptive potential, in that they allow to study local adaptation without the confounding effect of phenotypic plasticity. The QST − FST comparison framework, comparing genetic differentiation at the phenotypic and molecular level, is the usual way to test and measure whether local adaptation influences phenotypic divergence between populations.
  2. Here, we highlight that the assumptions behind the expected equality QST = FST under neutrality correspond to a very simple model of population genetics. While the equality might, on average, be robust to violation of such assumptions, more complex population structure can generate strong evolutionary noise.
  3. Synthesis. We highlight recent methodological developments aimed at overcoming this issue and at providing a more general framework to detect local adaptation, using less restrictive assumptions. We invite empiricists to look into these methods and theorists to continue developing even more general methods.

研究当地适应的普通花园实验需要考虑人口结构

  1. 常见的花园实验对于研究适应性现象和适应性潜力非常宝贵,因为它们可以研究局部适应性,而不会受到表型可塑性的混杂影响。Q ST  -  F ST比较框架,比较表型和分子水平的遗传分化,是测试和测量局部适应是否影响种群之间表型差异的常用方法。
  2. 在这里,我们强调在中性条件下预期相等性Q ST  =  F ST背后的假设对应于一个非常简单的群体遗传学模型。虽然平均而言,平等可能对违反此类假设具有鲁棒性,但更复杂的种群结构会产生强烈的进化噪音。
  3. 合成。我们强调了最近旨在克服这个问题的方法学发展,并使用限制较少的假设提供更通用的框架来检测局部适应。我们邀请经验主义者研究这些方法,并邀请理论家继续开发更一般的方法。
