Inversions can play key roles in the genetic architecture of adaptation, but the scale of their effects across different species remains poorly understood. Here, we use whole-genome sequencing and demographic modelling to investigate the influence of inversions on the population genomics of the r-selected European sardine (Sardina pilchardus). Allele frequency differences from millions of SNPs across 34 populat...
The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792) is culturally and economically important throughout its distribution. Monitoring studies of sardine populations report an alarming decrease in stocks due to overfishing and environmental change, which has resulted in historically low captures along the Iberian Atlantic coast. Important biological and ecological features such as population diversity, struct...
