Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal inversions are often thought to facilitate local adaptation and population divergence because they can link multiple adaptive alleles into non-recombining genomic blocks. Selection should thus be more efficient in driving inversion-linked adaptive alleles to high frequency in a population, particularly in the face of maladaptive gene flow. But what if ecological conditions and hence selection on...
