Balancing selection at a wing pattern locus is associated with major shifts in genome-wide patterns of diversity and gene flow by Rodríguez de Cara, María Ángeles, Jay, Paul, Rougemont, Quentin, Chouteau, Mathieu, Whibley, Annabel, Huber, Barbara, Piron-Prunier, Florence, Ramos, Renato Rogner, Freitas, André V. L., Salazar, Camilo, Silva-Brandão, Karina Lucas, Torres, Tatiana Teixeira, Joron, Mathieu

“…By contrast, monomorphic populations of H. numata as well as its sister species and their ancestral lineages all show lower effective population sizes and genetic diversity, and higher levels of geographical structure across the continent. One hypothesis is that the large effective population size of polymorphic populations could be caused by the shift to a regime of balancing selection due to the genetic load and disassortative preferences associated with inversions. …”
