Reply to MacColl: Repeated evolution from standing genetic variation
MacColl (1) suggests that reproductive isolation and divergence in our stickleback study populations (2) predate postglacial lake colonization and were already present in two distinct colonizing lineages.Much evidence contradicts this view and instead supports repeated evolution in lakes that is largely driven by selection on old standing genetic variation brought by marine colonists.
