Molecular genetics and quantitative traits divergence among populations of Eothenomys miletus from Hengduan Mountain region.

ABSTRACT: An important objective of evolutionary biology has always been to grasp the evolutionary and genetic processes that contribute to speciation. The present work provides the first detailed account of the genetic and physiological adaptation to changing environmental temperatures as well as the reasons causing intraspecific divergence in the Eothenomys miletus from the Hengduan Mountain (HM) region, one of the biodiversity hotspots. One hundred sixty-one E. miletus individuals from five populations in the HM region had their reduced-representation genome sequenced, and one additional individual from each community had their genomes resequenced. We then characterized the genetic diversity and population structure of each population and compared the phenotypic divergence in traits
