Parallel adaptation in autopolyploid Arabidopsis arenosa is dominated by repeated recruitment of shared alleles

Relative contributions of pre-existing versus de novo genomic variation to adaptation remain unclear. Here, the authors address this problem by examining the adaptation of autotetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa to serpentine soils and find that both types of variations contribute to rapid adaptation.
