Abstract excerpt
The central abundance hypothesis predicts that local adaptation is a function of the distance to the centre of a species' geographic range. To test this hypothesis, we gathered genomic diversity data from 49 populations, 646 individuals and 33,464 SNPs of two wild relatives of maize, the teosintes Zea mays ssp. parviglumis and Zea. mays. ssp. mexicana. We examined the association between the distance to their...
