Significance The “adaptive landscape” characterizes the relationship between genotype and fitness. As the landscape becomes more rugged, evolution can become more constrained. During the modern evolutionary synthesis, different views about the process of adaptation reflected different assumptions about landscape topography, which motivated the empirical assessment of adaptive landscapes in biological systems. Here, we describe how evolutionary patterns within experimental populations can yield information about landscape topography. Specifically, metapopulations of Escherichia coli are evolved under different patterns of migration. We find bacteria reach higher fitness and accumulate more mutations under restricted migration than unrestricted migration, which is consistent with a rugged topography. In this way, experimental manipulation of population structure can provide insight into fundamental evolutionary constraints. In the context of Wright’s adaptive landscape, genetic epistasis can yield a multipeaked or “rugged” topography. In an unstructured population, a lineage with selective access to multiple peaks is expected to fix rapidly on one, which may not be the highest peak. In a spatially structured population, on the other hand, beneficial mutations take longer to spread. This slowdown allows distant parts of the population to explore the landscape semiindependently. Such a population can simultaneously discover multiple peaks, and the genotype at the highest discovered peak is expected to dominate eventually. Thus, structured populations sacrifice initial speed of adaptation for breadth of search. As in the fable of the tortoise and the hare, the structured population (tortoise) starts relatively slow but eventually surpasses the unstructured population (hare) in average fitness. In contrast, on single-peak landscapes that lack epistasis, all uphill paths converge. Given such “smooth” topography, breadth of search is devalued and a structured population only lags behind an unstructured population in average fitness (ultimately converging). Thus, the tortoise–hare pattern is an indicator of ruggedness. After verifying these predictions in simulated populations where ruggedness is manipulable, we explore average fitness in metapopulations of Escherichia coli. Consistent with a rugged landscape topography, we find a tortoise–hare pattern. Further, we find that structured populations accumulate more mutations, suggesting that distant peaks are higher. This approach can be used to unveil landscape topography in other systems, and we discuss its application for antibiotic resistance, engineering problems, and elements of Wright’s shifting balance process.
