Regional gene-environment association models improve insights into agents and targets of selection by climate in Mimulus guttatus

Genotype-environment association (GEA) approaches identify genetic variants that likely contribute to adaptation along environmental gradients. These associations can inform predictive models of maladaptation risk and evolutionary rescue in future climates. However, because population structure and climate parameters often co-vary, tradeoffs arise between accounting for population structure to…
