Modularity of genes involved in local adaptation to climate despite physical linkage
Abstract Background Linkage among genes experiencing different selection pressures can make natural selection less efficient. Theory predicts that when local adaptation is driven by complex and non-covarying stresses, increased linkage is favored for alleles with similar pleiotropic effects, with in...
