Genotype-Phenotype-Environment Associations and Potential Local Adaptation Signals in the Mesquite Lizard Along the Eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Abstract excerpt

Anthropogenic activities modify the composition and configuration of landscapes and fragment habitats, generating environmental gradients and dispersal barriers that alter gene flow and generate selective pressures. Identifying local adaptation, which depends on the balance between selection and gene flow, requires integrative approaches that combine multiple sources of evidence. Notably, signals of local...
