Implication

Integrative phylogenomics suggests significant gene flow from islands to continental populations, highlighting the role of island populations in genetic diversity.

Key Points

Asymmetric gene flow from island to continental populations was observed, linking the two in unexpected ways.
Mitochondrial sequences and genome-wide data analyses revealed demographics highlighting the island's evolutionary role.
Integrative phylogenomics involved multiple phylogenetic reconstruction methods to study colonization and gene flow.
This dynamic exchange within a continent-island metapopulation suggests islands are vital genetic reservoirs.
