... The adaptive maintenance of multiple alleles of a single gene has been posited for nearly a century (Fisher, 1930;Ford et al., 1940;Dobzhansky, 1950;Cain and Sheppard, 1954;Dobzhansky, 1970), and evidence for its pervasiveness continues to grow (Hedrick and Thomson, 1983;Subramaniam and Rausher, 2000;Koskella and Lively, 2009;Leffler et al., 2013;Delph and Kelly, 2014;Lee et al., 2021).
