Genomic signatures of rapid local selection and introgression drive adaptive phylogeography in the European river skater

Key Points

• Local selection significantly impacts the adaptive phylogeography of the European river skater, showing evidence of genomic changes.
• Genomic signatures identify rapid introgression events, with important implications for the species' adaptability.
• Analysis of the genomic data provides insight into how local environmental pressures shape genetic diversity in the species.
• This work highlights the importance of understanding adaptive responses to environmental changes, guiding future conservation efforts.
