AbstractClosely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary lineages. Adaptation to climate presents a natural laboratory to test these ideas, as even distantly related species must contend with similar stresses.

1 INTRODUCTION Studying local adaptation can provide a window into the process of evolution, yielding insights about the nature of evolvability, constraints to diversification, and how the interplay between a species and its environment shapes intraspecific genetic variation (e.g., Savolainen et al., 2013).
