Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cycle of glacial contraction and postglacial expansion in widespread European organisms, as inferred from neutral genetic markers, has led to classic phylogeographic divergence and a primarily latitudinal gradient in genetic diversity. However, the relative contribution of adaptive loci, compared to neutral loci, in shaping complex phylogeographic patterns remains poorly understood. RESULTS: We...
