Population-genomic approach reveals adaptive floral divergence in discrete populations of a hawk moth-pollinated violet.

Abstract excerpt

Local adaptation to contrasting biotic or abiotic environments is an important evolutionary step that presumably precedes floral diversification at the species level, yet few studies have demonstrated the adaptive nature of intraspecific floral divergence in wild plant populations. We combine a population-genomic approach with phenotypic information on floral traits to examine whether the differentiation in...
