Genomic signatures of rapid local selection and introgression drive adaptive phylogeography in the European river skater

Our study presents a comprehensive paradigm for understanding how widespread, limited-dispersal European species adapt to heterogeneous environments through the combined effects of rapid local selection and adaptive introgression, extending beyond the influence of neutral processes alone. Furthermore, we designed and implemented an extended framework for phylogeographic investigation that incorporates both neutral and adaptive dimensions.

Abstract

Our study presents a comprehensive paradigm for understanding how widespread, limited-dispersal European species adapt to heterogeneous environments through the combined effects of rapid local selection and adaptive introgression, extending beyond the influence of neutral processes alone. Furthermore, we designed and implemented an extended framework for phylogeographic investigation that incorporates both neutral and adaptive dimensions.
