Morphological and genetic divergence of intralacustrine stickleback morphs in Iceland: a case for selective differentiation?

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary processes involved in population divergence and local adaptation are poorly understood. Theory predicts that divergence of adjacent populations is possible but depends on several factors including gene flow, divergent selection, population size and the number of genes involved in divergence and their distribution on the genome. We analyse variation in neutral markers, markers linked to putative...
