Abstract excerpt
How divergence occurs between closely related organisms in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow stands as one of the long-standing questions in evolutionary biology. Previous studies suggested that the interplay between selection, gene flow and recombination strongly affected the process of divergence with gene flow. However, the extent to which these forces interact to drive divergence remains largely...
