Abstract

What are the processes that shape patterns of genome-wide variation between emerging species? This question is central to our understanding of the origins of biodiversity and the fundamental principles governing molecular evolution. It is becoming clear that indirect selection on linked neutral variation (hereafter, linked selection) plays a pervasive role in shaping heterogeneous patterns of genome-wide diversity and differentiation within and between species, but we do not know how these signatures of linked selection evolve over time. To fill this critical knowledge gap, we construct the first chromosome-level genome assembly for the bush …(more)
