The evolution of genomic islands by increased establishment probability of linked alleles.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2016

Yeaman Sam, Aeschbacher Simon, Bürger Reinhard

Abstract excerpt

Genomic islands are clusters of loci with elevated divergence that are commonly found in population genomic studies of local adaptation and speciation. One explanation for their evolution is that linkage between selected alleles confers a benefit, which increases the establishment probability of new mutations that are linked to existing locally adapted polymorphisms. Previous theory suggested there is only...
