Genetic variation for adaptive traits is associated with polymorphic inversions in Littorina saxatilis
Abstract Chromosomal inversions have long been recognized for their role in local adaptation. By suppressing recombination in heterozygous individuals, they can maintain coadapted gene complexes and protect them from homogenizing effects of gene flow. However, to fully understand their importance fo...
