Repeated genetic adaptation to altitude in two tropical butterflies - Nature.com

Here, the authors study adaptation to altitude in 518 whole genomes from two species of tropical butterflies. They find repeated genetic differentiation within species, little molecular parallelism between these species, and introgression from closely related…

Divergence and diversity across elevations and transects To study adaptation to altitude in H. erato and H. melpomene, we used whole-genome data from 518 re-sequenced individuals, 444 of which were … [+39422 chars]
