Abstract excerpt
Structural genomic variation is a significant evolutionary modifier, impacting species adaptation, diversification, and speciation globally, yet its general contribution to evolution in geographical areas of environmental variability is rarely discussed. Long-standing hypotheses suggest that the Earth's orbital oscillations, generating cycles of environmental instability across the Southern Ocean seafloor, have...
