Cast adrift on an island: introduced populations experience an altered balance between selection and drift.

Biology letters - 23 Oct 2012

O'Neill Eric M, Beard Karen H, Pfrender Michael E

Abstract excerpt

A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is what becomes of adaptive traits when a species expands its range into novel environments. Here, we report the results of a study on an adaptive colour pattern polymorphism (stripes) of the coqui frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui, following its introduction to Hawaii from Puerto Rico. We compared population differentiation (Φ ST and F ST ) for the stripes...
