Support for the evolutionary speed hypothesis from intraspecific population genetic data in the non-biting midge Chironomus riparius

The evolutionary speed hypothesis (ESH) proposes a causal mechanism for the latitudinal diversity gradient. The central idea of the ESH is that warmer temperatures lead to shorter generation times and increased mutation rates. On an absolute time scale, both should lead to an acceleration of selecti...
