Temperature-associated selection linked to putative chromosomal inversions in king scallop (Pecten maximus).

ABSTRACT: The genomic landscape of divergence-the distribution of differences among populations or species across the genome-is increasingly characterized to understand the role that microevolutionary forces such as natural selection and recombination play in causing and maintaining genetic divergence. This line of inquiry has also revealed chromosome structure variation to be an important factor shaping the landscape of adaptive genetic variation. Owing to a high prevalence of chromosome structure variation and the strong pressure for local adaptation necessitated by their sessile nature, bivalve molluscs are an ideal taxon for exploring the relationship between chromosome structure variation and local adaptation. Here, we report a population genomic survey of king scallop (Pecten maximus) a
