North-South Colonization Associated with Local Adaptation of the Wild Tomato Species Solanum chilense.

Abstract excerpt

After colonization population sizes may vary across the species range depending on environmental conditions and following colonizations. An interesting question is whether local adaptation occurs more frequently in large ancestral populations or in small derived populations. A higher number of new mutations and a lower effect of genetic drift should favor selection in large populations, whereas small derived...
