text: Understanding the effects of sex and migration on adaptation to novel environments
remains a key problem in evolutionary biology. Using a single-cell alga Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii, we investigated how sex and migration affected rates of evolutionary
rescue in a sink environment, and subsequent changes in fitness following evolutionary
rescue. We show that sex and migration affect both the rate of evolutionary rescue
and subsequent adaptation. However, their combined effects change as the populations
adapt to a sink habitat. Both sex and migration independently increased rates
of evolutionary rescue, but the effect of sex on subsequent fitness improvements,
following initial rescue, changed with migration, as sex was beneficial in the
absence of migration but constraining adaptation when combined with migration.
These results suggest that sex and migration are beneficial during the initial
stages of adaptation, but can become detrimental as the population adapts to its
environment.
