Abstract excerpt
Adaptive radiation is a major driver of biodiversity. In some of the largest radiations, increasing evidence suggests that explosive morphological diversification is often fueled by standing genetic variation and admixture, rather than de novo mutations. The rapid translation of this genetic variation into novel phenotypes through gene regulation remains poorly understood. Analyzing 200 transcriptomes from three...
