Digest: The role of linkage in mimicking “magic traits”

Can divergence in a mating trait increase local adaption by increasing ecological divergence? Servedio and Bürger propose that “pseudomagic traits,” tightly linked complexes consisting of an ecological locus under divergent selection and a locus acting as a mating cue, can effectively mimic pleiotro...

Zusammenfassung:Can divergence in a mating trait increase local adaption by increasing ecological divergence? Servedio and Bürger propose that “pseudomagic traits,” tightly linked complexes consisting of an ecological locus under divergent selection and a locus acting as a mating cue, can effectively mimic pleiotropy. Such pseudomagic traits can form even when linkage between ecological and mating loci is limited.
