Deskripsi

Species radiations can be driven by both adaptive and non-adaptive processes, but the relative importance of these drivers is unknown. Here, Nevado et al. show that multiple radiations in the New World lupins were associated with genome-wide accelerations in both coding and regulatory evolution, suggesting a strong influence of adaptive processes.
