The effects of linkage and gene flow on local adaptation: a two-locus continent-island model.
Theoretical population biology - 1 Dec 2011
Bürger Reinhard, Akerman Ada
Abstract excerpt
Population subdivision and migration are generally considered to be important causes of linkage disequilibrium (LD). We explore the combined effects of recombination and gene flow on the amount of LD, the maintenance of polymorphism, and the degree of local adaptation in a subdivided population by analyzing a diploid, deterministic continent-island model with genic selection on two linked loci (i.e., no dominance...
