The genetic consequences of spatially varying selection in the panmictic American eel (Anguilla rostrata).

Abstract excerpt

Our understanding of the genetic basis of local adaptation has recently benefited from the increased power to identify functional variants associated with environmental variables at the genome scale. However, it often remains challenging to determine whether locally adaptive alleles are actively maintained at intermediate frequencies by spatially varying selection. Here, we evaluate the extent to which this...
