Balancing selection is a powerful evolutionary force that maintains adaptive genetic and phenotypic diversity. Although methods to detect the footprints of balancing selection in genomic data have advanced, we still lack a clear understanding of how repeatable these signatures appear in wild populations, and how this repeatability is shaped by demographic history and existing genetic variation. The Trinidadian...
