Can diversifying selection be distinguished from history in geographic clines? A population genomic study of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

A common geographical pattern of genetic variation is the one-dimensional cline. Clines may be maintained by diversifying selection across a geographical gradient but can also reflect historical processes such as allopatry followed by secondary contact. To identify loci that may be undergoing diversifying selection, we examined the distribution of geographical variation patterns across the range of the killifish...
