Abstract excerpt
Under the ecological theory of adaptive radiation, adaptation and reproductive isolation are thought to evolve as a result of divergent natural selection. Accordingly, elucidating the genetic basis of these processes is essential toward understanding the role of selection in shaping biological diversity. In this respect, the number of genes that evolved by selection remains contentious. To address this issue, the...
