Islands have remarkable levels of endemism and contribute greatly to global biodiversity. Establishing the age of island endemics is important to gain insights into the processes that have shaped the biodiversity patterns of island biota. We investigated
We estimated the potential impact of geography and site ecology on genetic differentiation by analyzing the covariance between allele frequencies among field sites and ecological distance matrices21. We find that elevation is more correlated with genome-wide signatures than geographic distance, such that ...
