Gene surfing of underdominant alleles promotes formation of hybrid zones.

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of genetic diversity over geographical space has long been investigated in population genetics and serves as a useful tool to understand evolution and history of populations. Within some species or across regions of contact between two species, there are instances where there is no apparent ecological determinant of sharp changes in allele frequencies or divergence. To further understand these...
