Genomic evidence of rapid and stable adaptive oscillations over seasonal time scales in Drosophila.

In many species, genomic data have revealed pervasive adaptive evolution indicated by the fixation of beneficial alleles. However, when selection pressures are highly variable along a species' range or through time adaptive alleles may persist at intermediate frequencies for long periods. So ca...
