The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “One remarkable commonality among all of these studies is the speed of this adaptation; populations can become adapted to new environments over comparatively short time scales (Barrett et al., 2008).”
Genetics and ecological speciation (2009, background): “Sampling has confirmed that the partly recessive, low-armor allele is present as standing variation in the marine population (42, 53).”
Contemporary evolution, allelic recycling, and adaptive radiation of the threespine stickleback (2013, background): “Furthermore, Barrett et al. (2008) observed dramatic but inconsistent changes in the frequencies of EDA genotypes over short intervals within a generation before plates developed.”
