Abstract excerpt
Populations are often exposed to multiple sources of gene flow, but accounts are lacking of the population genetic dynamics that result from these interactions or their effects on local evolution. Using a genomic clines framework applied to 1,195 single nucleotide polymorphisms, we documented genomewide, locus-specific patterns of introgression between Choristoneura occidentalis biennis spruce budworms and two...
