Digest: Demographic changes and ancient introgression events might resolve Lewontin's Paradox in Australian geckos.
Lewontin's Paradox concerns the weak correlation between genetic diversity and population size, challenging predictions of neutral theory. Lau et al., (2025. Range size variably predicts genetic diversity in Gehyra geckos. Evolution, qpaf057. doi:10.1093/evolut/qpaf057) investigated this paradox in Gehyra geckos, finding a positive correlation between range size and heterozygosity. However, this relationship was not significant in the nana group, suggesting additional evolutionary forces are involved. Population expansion, local population dynamics, and ancient introgression likely contributed to shaping genetic diversity, highlighting the complexity of evolutionary processes beyond genetic drift.
期刊介绍:
Evolution, published for the Society for the Study of Evolution, is the premier publication devoted to the study of organic evolution and the integration of the various fields of science concerned with evolution. The journal presents significant and original results that extend our understanding of evolutionary phenomena and processes.
