Evidence of selection in sympatry between two closely related species of rockfish
Ecological or reproductive barriers can maintain species boundaries by preventing introgression in closely related taxa when their distributions overlap (sympatry). In sympatry, sister-taxa may have greater genetic divergence compared to allopatric parts of their range. When analyzing populations of one of the sister-taxa, this divergence may translate to greater genetic differentiation between…
