Introgression dynamics of sex-linked chromosomal inversions shape the Malawi cichlid adaptive radiation

Moritz Blumer, Valentina Burskaia, Ilya V. Artyushin, Jaysmita Saha, Julia Camacho-Garcia, Francisco Campuzano Jiménez, Alexander Hooft van Huysduynen, Joel Elkin, Bettina Fischer, Natalie Van Houtte, Chenxi Zhou, Sophie Gresham, Milan Malinsky, Tyler P. Linderoth, Wilson Sawasawa, , Hannes Svardal

The paper analyzes 1,375 Malawi cichlid genomes to show that sex-linked chromosomal inversions drive adaptive speciation through introgression and selection on neuro-sensory, physiological, and reproductive genes.
