Abstract excerpt
Insects represent the largest group of migratory animals in terms of species and biomass, yet the relative contributions of population-associated genetic differentiation and environmental plasticity to insect migration remain unclear. Here, we integrate population genomics with common garden experiments to infer the geographic origins of immigrant populations and evaluate population- and...
