Speciation with gene flow in the large white-headed gulls: does selection counterbalance introgression?

Heredity - 1 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the role of selection in generating and maintaining species distinctness in spite of ongoing gene flow, using two zones of secondary contact between large gull species in Europe (Larus argentatus and Larus cachinnans) and North America (Larus glaucescens and Larus occidentalis). We used the pattern of neutral genetic differentiation at nine microsatellite loci (F(ST)) as an indicator of expected...
