Heterogeneous Genomic Differentiation Between Walking-Stick Ecotypes: “Isolation by Adaptation” and Multiple Roles for Divergent Selection

Genetic differentiation can be highly variable across the genome. For example, loci under divergent selection and those tightly linked to them may exhibit elevated differentiation compared to neutral regions. These represent “outlier loci” whose differentiation exceeds neutral expectations. Adaptive...
