When should we use assisted gene flow to help populations adapt to climate change?
Aitken, S., & Whitlock, M. (2013). Assisted gene flow to facilitate local adaptation to climate change. Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, (September), 1–22. doi:10.1146/annurev-ecolsys-110512-135747
I recently published a paper in PNAS on the evolution of genomic architecture in species that inhabit heterogeneous environments. Susannah Tysor suggested preparing a video abstract to get the word out, so with production help from Susannah and Colin Mahony, here it is.
The paper is available here:

I’d love to hear from you with your comments!
