Ancient Transposable Elements Sustain Global Ecological Adaptation Despite Chronically Low Nucleotide Diversity.

Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are dynamic components of eukaryotic genomes and a major source of structural and regulatory variation, yet their contribution to ecological adaptation over evolutionary time remains unresolved. This uncertainty is particularly acute in species that occupy broad environmental niches despite chronically low nucleotide diversity, where conventional models predict limited adaptive...
