Islands within an island: repeated adaptive divergence in a single population.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2015

Abstract excerpt

Physical barriers to gene flow were once viewed as prerequisites for adaptive evolutionary divergence. However, a growing body of theoretical and empirical work suggests that divergence can proceed within a single population. Here we document genetic structure and spatially replicated patterns of phenotypic divergence within a bird species endemic to 250 km(2) Santa Cruz Island, California, USA. Island scrub-jays...
