Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria vector

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Scott Small | Authors: Scott T Small, Carlo Costantini, N’Fale Sagnon, Moussa W Guelbeogo, Scott J Emrich, Andrew D Kern, Michael C Fontaine and Nora J Besansky | Summary: Abstract Local adaptation results in the formation of ecotypes–conspecific groups with heritable differences that increase fitness to distinct environments. The adaptive significance of ecotypes […]
