Data 1) of <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> described in the 1001 genomes project <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/DUBI">(1001 Genomes Consortium 2016)</a> were sown on sieved (6 mm) substrate (Einheitserde ED63). Pots were filled with 71.5 g ±1.5 g of soil to assure homogenous packing. The prepared pots were all covered with blue mats <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/1WUv">(Junker et al. 2014)</a> to enable a robust performance of the high-throughput image analysis algorithm. Seeds were stratified (4 days at 4ºC in darkness) after which they germinated and left to grow for 2 weeks at 21ºC (relative humidity: 55 %; light intensity: 160 µmol m-2 s-1; 14 h light). The temperature treatments were started by transferring the seedlings to either 6 °C or 16 °C. To simulate natural conditions temperatures fluctuated diurnally between 16-21 °C, 0.5-6 °C and 8-16 °C for the 21 °C initial growth conditions and the 6 °C and 16 °C treatments, respectively (<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bmr7p24ZMh4yPFVV5oPeH2-T5S41TOFDS3au8JhtwsU/edit#fig_design">Fig.2</a>). Light intensity was kept constant at 160 µmol m-2 s-1 throughout the experiment. Relative humidity was set at 55% but in colder temperatures it rose uncontrollably to maximum 95%. Daylength was 9h during the 16°C and 6°C treatments.</p> <p>Each temperature treatment was repeated in three independent experiments. Five replicate plants were grown for every genotype per experiment. Plants were randomly distributed across the growth chamber with an independent randomisation pattern for each experiment. During the temperature treatments (14 DAS – 35 DAS), plants were photographed twice a day (1 hour. after/before lights switched on/off), using an RGB camera (IDS uEye UI-548xRE-C; 5MP) mounted to a robotic arm. At 35 DAS, whole rosettes were harvested, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C until further analysis. Rosette areas were extracted from the plant images using Lemnatec OS (LemnaTec GmbH, Aachen, Germany) software.</p> <p><em><strong>Seed size</strong></em></p> <p>We used the seeds produced by <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/Jqsd">(Kerdaffrec et al. 2016)</a> and limited our measurements to the set of 123 Swedish accessions that overlapped with our growth dataset. After seed stratification for four days at 4ºC in darkness, mother plants were grown for 8 weeks at 4ºC under long-day conditions (16h light; 8h dark) to ensure proper vernalization. Temperature was raised to 21ºC (light) and 16ºC (dark) for flowering and seed ripening. Seeds were kept in darkness at 16ºC and 30% relative humidity, from the harvest until seed size measurements. For each genotype three replicates were pooled and about 200-300 seeds were sprinkled on 12 x 12 cm square, transparent Petri dishes. Image acquisition was performed as described in <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/WH1e">(Exposito-Alonso et al. 2018)</a> by scanning dishes on a cluster of eight Epson V600 scanners. The resulting 1200 dpi .tiff images were analyzed in the Fiji software. Images were converted to 8-bit binary images and thresholded with the <em>setAutoThreshold("Defaultdark”) </em>command, and seed area was measured in squared mm by running the <em>Analyse Particles</em> command (inclusion parameters: size=0.04-0.25 circularity=0.70-1.00).</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Data from: Local adaptation (mostly) remains local: reassessing environmental associations of climate-related candidate SNPs in Arabidopsis halleri
<p>Numerous landscape genomic studies have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes potentially involved in local adaptation. Rarely, it has been explicitly evaluated whether these environmental associations also hold true beyond the populations studied. We tested whether putatively adaptive SNPs in <em>Arabidopsis</em> <em>halleri</em> (Brassicaceae), characterized in a previous study investigating local adaptation to a highly heterogeneous environment, show the same environmental associations in an independent, geographically enlarged set of 18 populations. We analysed new SNP data of 444 plants with the same methodology (partial Mantel tests, PMTs) as in the original study and additionally with a latent factor mixed model (LFMM) approach. Of the 74 candidate SNPs, 41% (PMTs) and 51% (LFMM) were associated with environmental factors in the independent data set. However, only 5% (PMTs) and 15% (LFMM) of the associations showed the same environment–allele relationships as in the original study. In total, we found 11 genes (31%) containing the same association in the original and independent data set. These can be considered prime candidate genes for environmental adaptation at a broader geographical scale. Our results suggest that selection pressures in highly heterogeneous alpine environments vary locally and signatures of selection are likely to be population-specific. Thus, genotype-by-environment interactions underlying adaptation are more heterogeneous and complex than is often assumed, which might represent a problem when testing for adaptation at specific loci.</p>

Data for: Predictable local adaptation in butterfly photoperiodism but not thermal performance along a latitudinal cline
<p>In seasonal environments, organisms must synchronize their life cycles to conditions favorable for growth and reproduction. Because season length varies geographically, local adaptation should arise in traits that regulate phenological responses. Geographic photoperiodism clines are well-known, but comparable studies on thermal performance are equivocal and often overlook non-linear responses. Therefore, we examined local adaptation in plastic responses to both photoperiod and temperature along a 752 km latitudinal cline, by comparing four Swedish populations of the butterfly <em>Pieris napi</em>. Using a common garden design, we estimated (1) photoperiod response curves for diapause induction and (2) thermal performance curves for development and growth rates. We show that differences in photoperiodism follow the expected geographical pattern, where diapause is induced at longer daylengths in northern populations (where growth seasons are short and summer days long). However, population differences in thermal performance curves were small and seemingly idiosyncratic, without clear clinal patterns. Photoperiodic responses appear to evolve more readily than thermal responses, highlighting photoperiodism as a key driver of local life cycle synchronization.</p>
Code and data for: Are novel or locally adapted pathogens more devastating and why? : resolving opposing hypotheses
<p>The naive host syndrome hypothesis suggests that pathogens are able to easily invade and become deadly to novel hosts because of a lack of co-evolutionary history, whereas the local adaptation hypothesis suggests that pathogens are better able to invade local hosts because of their co-evolutionary history, but rarely do studies on these two hypotheses cite one another or acknowledge their ostensibly mixed messages. By combining a continental-scale, factorial, common garden experiment with a global-scale meta-analysis, each on the amphibian-chytrid fungus host-pathogen system, we show that local host-pathogen interactions typically resulted in higher host mortality, greater infection success, and higher pathogen loads, but that there was substantial variation in novel host-pathogen outcomes and thus moving pathogens around the planet increases the likelihood of exposure to particularly virulent pathogen strains and particularly deadly host-pathogen combination. Therefore, we provide support for both the local adaptation and naïve host syndrome hypotheses, highlight how the two hypotheses are complementary rather than conflicting, and emphasize the need for greater integration of these hypotheses and their associated semi-disparate literature.</p>
Data from: Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing reveals local adaptation despite high levels of gene flow in Sardinella lemuru (Bleeker, 1853) along the northern coast of Mindanao, Philippines
<p>Stock identification and delineation are important in the management and conservation of marine resources. These were highlighted as priority research areas for Bali sardinella (<em>Sardinella lemuru</em>) which is among the most commercially important fishery resources in the Philippines. Previous studies have already assessed the stocks of <em>S. lemuru</em> between Northern Mindanao Region (NMR) and Northern Zamboanga Peninsula (NZP), yielding conflicting results. Phenotypic variation suggests distinct stocks between the two regions, while mitochondrial DNA did not detect evidence of genetic differentiation for this high gene flow species. This paper tested the hypothesis of regional structuring using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) acquired through restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq). We examined patterns of population genomic structure using a full panel of 3,573 loci, which was then partitioned into a neutral panel of 3,348 loci and an outlier panel of 31 loci. Similar inferences were obtained from the full and neutral panels, which were contrary to the inferences from the outlier panel. While the full and neutral panels suggested a panmictic population (global F<sub>ST</sub> ~ 0, p > 0.05), the outlier panel revealed genetic differentiation between the two regions (global F<sub>ST</sub> = 0.161, p = 0.001; F<sub>CT</sub> = 0.263, p < 0.05). This indicated that while gene flow is apparent, selective forces due to environmental heterogeneity between the two regions play a role in maintaining adaptive variation. Annotation of the outlier loci returned five genes that were mostly involved in organismal development. Meanwhile, three unannotated loci had allele frequencies that correlated with sea surface temperature. Overall, our results provided support for local adaptation despite high levels of gene flow in <em>S. lemuru</em>. Management therefore should not only focus on demographic parameters (e.g., stock size, catch volume), but also consider the preservation of adaptive variation.</p>

Genomic and chemical evidence for local adaptation in resistance to different herbivores in Datura stramonium
<p>Since most species are collections of genetically variable populations distributed to habitats differing in their abiotic/biotic environmental factors and community composition, the pattern and strength of natural selection imposed by species on each others' traits are also expected to be highly spatially variable. Here, we used genomic and quantitative genetic approaches to understand how spatially variable selection operates on the genetic basis of plant defenses to herbivores. To this end, an F2 progeny was generated by crossing Datura stramonium (Solanaceae) parents from two populations differing in their level of chemical defense. This F2 progeny was reciprocally transplanted into the parental plants' habitats and by measuring the Identity by Descent (IBD) relationship of each F2 plant to each parent, we were able to elucidate how spatially variable selection imposed by herbivores operated on the genetic background (IBD) of resistance to herbivory, promoting local adaptation. The results highlight that plants possessing the highest total alkaloid concentrations (sum of all alkaloid classes) were not the most well-defended or fit. Instead, specific alkaloids and their linked loci/alleles were favored by selection imposed by different herbivores. This has led to population differentiation in plant defenses and thus, to local adaptation driven by plant-herbivore interactions.</p>
Data from: Inversion Invasions: when the genetic basis of local adaptation is concentrated within inversions in the face of gene flow
<p><span></span></p> <p>Across many species where inversions have been implicated in local adaptation, genomes often evolve to contain multiple, large inversions that arise early in divergence. Why this occurs has yet to be resolved. To address this gap, we built forward-time simulations in which inversions have flexible characteristics and can invade a metapopulation undergoing spatially divergent selection for a highly polygenic trait. In our simulations, inversions typically arose early in divergence, captured standing genetic variation upon mutation, and then accumulated many small-effect loci over time. Under special conditions, inversions could also arise late in adaptation and capture locally adapted alleles. Polygenic inversions behaved similarly to a single supergene of large effect and were detectable by genome scans. Our results show that characteristics of adaptive inversions found in empirical studies (e.g., multiple large, old inversions that are FST outliers, sometimes overlapping with other inversions) are consistent with a highly polygenic architecture, and inversions do not need to contain any large-effect genes to play an important role in local adaptation. By combining a population and quantitative genetic framework, our results give a deeper understanding of the specific conditions needed for inversions to be involved in adaptation when the genetic architecture is polygenic.</p>

Potential local adaptation in populations of invasive reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) across an urbanization gradient
<p>Urban stressors represent strong selective gradients that can elicit evolutionary change, especially in non-native species that may harbor substantial within-population variability. To test whether urban stressors drive phenotypic differentiation and influence local adaptation, we compared stress responses of populations of a ubiquitous invader, reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea). Specifically, we quantified responses to salt, copper, and zinc additions by reed canary grass collected from four populations spanning an urbanization gradient (natural, rural, moderate urban and intense urban). We measured ten phenotypic traits and trait plasticities, because reed canary grass is known to be highly plastic and because plasticity may enhance invasion success. We tested the following hypotheses: 1) source populations vary systematically in their stress response, with the intense urban population least sensitive and the natural population most sensitive, and 2) plastic responses are adaptive under stressful conditions. We found clear trait variation among populations, with the greatest divergence in traits and trait plasticities between the natural and intense urban populations. The intense urban population showed stress tolerator characteristics for resource acquisition traits including leaf dry matter content and specific root length. Trait plasticity varied among populations for over half the traits measured, highlighting that plasticity differences were as common as trait differences. Plasticity in root mass ratio and specific root length were adaptive in some contexts, suggesting that natural selection by anthropogenic stressors may have contributed to root trait differences. Reed canary grass populations in highly urbanized wetlands may therefore be evolving enhanced tolerance to urban stressors, suggesting a mechanism by which invasive species may proliferate across urban wetland systems generally.</p>
Data from: Local adaptation to seasonal cues at the fronts of two parallel, climate-induced butterfly range expansions
<p>Climate change allows species to expand polewards, but non-changing environmental features may limit expansions. Daylength is unaffected by climate and drives life cycle timing in many animals and plants. Because daylength varies over latitudes, poleward-expanding populations must adapt to new daylength conditions. We studied local adaptation to daylength in the butterfly <em>Lasiommata megera</em>, which is expanding northwards along several routes in Europe. Using common garden laboratory experiments with controlled daylengths, we compared diapause induction between populations from the southern-Swedish core range and recently established marginal populations from two independent expansion fronts in Sweden. Caterpillars from the northern populations entered diapause in clearly longer daylengths than those from southern populations, with the exception of caterpillars from one geographically isolated population. The northern populations have repeatedly and rapidly adapted to their local daylengths, indicating that the common use of daylength as seasonal cue need not strongly limit climate-induced insect range expansions.</p>

From common gardens to candidate genes: Exploring local adaptation to climate in red spruce
<p><span>Local adaptation to climate is common in plant species and has been studied in a range of contexts, from improving crop yields to predicting population maladaptation to future conditions. The genomic era has brought new tools to study this process, which was historically explored through common garden experiments. </span></p> <p><span>In this study, we combine genomic methods and common gardens to investigate local adaptation in red spruce and identify environmental gradients and loci involved in climate adaptation. We first use climate transfer functions to estimate the impact of climate change on seedling performance in three common gardens. We then explore the use of multivariate gene-environment association (GEA) methods to identify genes underlying climate adaptation, with particular attention to the implications of conducting genome scans with and without correction for neutral population structure.</span></p> <p><span>This integrative approach uncovered phenotypic evidence of local adaptation to climate and identified a set of putatively adaptive genes, some of which are involved in three main adaptive pathways found in other temperate and boreal coniferous species: drought tolerance, cold hardiness, and phenology. These putatively adaptive genes segregated into two "modules" associated with different environmental gradients.</span></p> <p><span>This study nicely exemplifies the multivariate dimension of adaptation to climate in trees. </span></p>

Data from: Local adaptation in shell shape traits of a brooding chiton with strong population genomic differentiation
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Comparing divergence in quantitative tr</span><span>aits and neutral m</span><span>olecular markers, such as <em>Q</em><sub>ST</sub><em>–F</em><sub>ST</sub> comparisons, provides a means to distinguish between natural selection and genetic drift as causes of population differentiation in complex polygenic traits. </span><em>Onithochiton neglectus</em> (Rochebrune, 1881) is a morphologically variable chiton endemic to New Zealand, with populations distributed over a broad latitudinal environmental gradient. In this species, the morphological variants cluster into two geographically separated shell shape groups, and the phenotypic variation in shell shape has been hypothesised to be adaptive. Here, we assessed this hypothesis by comparing neutral genomic differentiation between populations (<em><span>F<sub>ST</sub></span></em><span>)</span> with an index of phenotypic differentiation (<em>P<sub>ST</sub></em>). We used 7,562 putatively neutral single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across 15 populations and three clades of <em>O. neglectus</em> throughout New Zealand to infer <em><span>F<sub>ST</sub></span></em>. <em>P<sub>ST</sub></em> was calculated from 18 shell shape traits and gave highly variable estimates across populations, clades and shape groups. By systematically comparing <em>P<sub>ST</sub></em> with <em>F<sub>ST</sub></em><sub>,</sub> we identified evidence of local adaptation in a number of the <em>O. neglectus </em>shell shape traits. This <span>supports the hypothesis that shell shape could be an adaptive trait, potentially correlated with the ability to live and raft in kelp holdfasts.</span></p>

Biotic interactions promote local adaptation to soil in plants - Supplementary data
<p>Although different ecological factors shape adaptative evolution in natural habitats, we know little about how their interactions impact local adaptation. Here we used eight generations of experimental evolution with outcrossing <em>Brassica rapa</em> plants as a model system, in eight treatment groups that varied in soil type, herbivory (with/without aphids), and pollination mode (hand- or bumblebee-pollination), to study how biotic interactions affect local adaptation to soil. First, we show that several plant traits evolved in response to biotic interactions in a soil-specific way. Second, using a reciprocal transplant experiment, we demonstrate that significant local adaptation to soil-type evolved in the "number of open flowers", a trait used as a fitness proxy, but only in plants that evolved with herbivory and bee pollination. Whole genome re-sequencing of experimental lines revealed that biotic interactions caused a 10-fold increase in the number of SNPs across the genome with significant allele frequency change, and that alleles with opposite allele frequency change in different soil types (antagonistic pleiotropy) were most common in plants with an evolutionary history of herbivory and bee pollination. Our results demonstrate that the interaction with mutualists and antagonists can facilitate local adaptation to soil type through antagonistic pleiotropy. </p>
