Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal inversions can play a crucial role in population adaptation and divergence by reducing gene flow and preserving adaptive allelic combinations between populations with different arrangements. However, demonstrating this empirically is challenging due to numerous interacting processes with similar genomic signatures affecting inversion evolution. In this study, we characterized a large (9.5Mb)...
