Multiple mechanisms drive genomic adaptation to extreme O2 levels in Drosophila melanogaster

The genomic details of adaptation to extreme environments remain challenging to characterize. Using new methods to analyze flies experimentally evolved to survive extreme O2 conditions, the authors find a surprising level of synchronicity in selective sweeps, de novo mutations and adaptive recombina...
