Abstract excerpt
Whether gene flow acts as a creative or constraining force on local adaptation is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology, yet its role in the evolution of sexually selected traits remains poorly understood. Here we combine whole-genome and functional analyses to investigate how geological isolation is associated with the evolution of sexually selected traits. We focused on the stag beetle genus...
