This project investigates the genetic basis of adaptation and speciation in the rocky intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis. By analyzing chromosomal rearrangements and their impact on phenotypic variation, the project aims to enhance understanding of how species adapt to environmental changes.
Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) are considered to foster adaptation (and speciation) by protecting advantageous combinations of alleles from recombination.
This is supported by the frequent observation of inversion clines linked to environmental gradients.
However, direct evidence for the proposed allelic interactions within CRs and their role in diversification remains elusive.
The rocky intertidal is a natural laboratory to study adaptation along gradients and its contribution to speciation.…
