Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the African dung beetle, introduced to Australia in 1968 for biological control, focusing on its genetic and morphological changes across different regions of the continent.
- - Analysis of 1594 SNP loci from 187 beetle samples indicated significant genetic differences between populations and limited gene flow over distances of 74-500 km.
- - The fore tibia shape of the beetles, important for their tunneling behavior, showed notable differences among populations, suggesting that local adaptation and directional selection are influencing these variations despite genetic similarities.
