Patterns of geographic variation of thermal adapted candidate genes in Drosophila subobscura sex chromosome arrangements

Abstract Background The role of chromosomal arrangements in adaptation is supported by the repeatable clinal variation in inversion frequencies across continents in colonizing species such as Drosophila subobscura. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the genetic variation in genes within invers...
