The determinants of genetic diversity in butterflies

The determinants of genetic diversity in butterflies

Theory suggests that neutral genetic diversity is determined by census population size, but this is not observed empirically. Here, the authors show that in butterflies, neutral genetic diversity correlates with both body size and chromosome number, suggesting that linked selection is also an import...
