Genetic Differentiation is Constrained to Chromosomal Inversions and Putative Centromeres in Locally Adapted Populations With Higher Gene Flow.

Abstract excerpt

The impact of genome structure on adaptation is a growing focus in evolutionary biology, revealing an important role for structural variation and recombination landscapes in shaping genetic diversity across genomes and among populations. This is particularly relevant when local adaptation occurs despite gene flow, where clustering of differentiated loci can maintain locally adapted variants by reducing...
