Locally Adaptive Inversions Modulate Genetic Variation at Different Geographic Scales in a Seaweed Fly.

Abstract excerpt

Across a species range, multiple sources of environmental heterogeneity, at both small and large scales, create complex landscapes of selection, which may challenge adaptation, particularly when gene flow is high. One key to multidimensional adaptation may reside in the heterogeneity of recombination along the genome. Structural variants, like chromosomal inversions, reduce recombination, increasing linkage...
