The effect of epistasis on the structure of hybrid zones.

Genetical research - 1 Apr 2000

Barton N H, Shpak M

Abstract excerpt

Within hybrid zones that are maintained by a balance between selection and dispersal, linkage disequilibrium is generated by the mixing of divergent populations. This linkage disequilibrium causes selection on each locus to act on all other loci, thereby steepening clines, and generating a barrier to gene flow. Diffusion models predict simple relations between the strength of linkage disequilibrium and the...
