Population differentiation and restricted gene flow in Spanish crossbills: not isolation-by-distance but isolation-by-ecology

Divergent selection stemming from environmental variation may induce local adaptation and ecological speciation whereas gene flow might have a homogenizing effect. Gene flow among populations using different environ- ments can be reduced by geographical distance (isolation-by-distance) or by diverge...
