Assessing the role of inversions in maintaining genomic differentiation after secondary contact: local adaptation, genetic incompatibilities, and drift
M. Rafajlovic, J. Rambla, J. L. Feder, A. Navarro, R. Faria
This study shows that chromosomal inversions can maintain genomic differentiation after secondary contact in finite populations, even with gene flux, by prolonging differentiation persistence and allowing for new incompatibilities and adaptations.
