| Abstract |
Understanding the genetic mechanisms of adaptation to environmental variables is a key concern in molecular ecology and evolutionary biology. Determining the adaptive evolutionary direction and evaluating the adaptation status of species can improve our understanding of these mechanisms. In this study, we sampled 20 populations of Forsythia suspensa to infer the relationship between environmental variables and adaptive genetic variations. Population structure analysis revealed that four genetic groups of F. suspensa exist resulting from divergent selection driven by seven environmental variables. A total of 26 outlier loci were identified by both BayeScan and FDIST2, 23 of which were environment-associated loci (EAL). Environmental association analysis revealed that the environmental variables related to the ecological habitats of F. suspensa are associated with high numbers of EAL. Results of EAL characterization in F. suspensa are consistent with the hypothesis that ecological habitats determine the adaptive evolution of this species. Moreover, a model of species adaptation to environmental variables was proposed in this study. The adaptation model was used to further evaluate the adaptation status of F. suspensa to environmental variables. This study will be useful to help us in understanding the adaptive evolution of species in regions lacking strong selection pressure. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 August 2023.
All research outputs
#16,016,780
of 25,782,917 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#8,684
of 24,934 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#180,802
of 325,594 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#257
of 557 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,782,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 24,934 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 325,594 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 557 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
