Article Synopsis
- Mayr's Central-Peripheral Population Model (CCPM) illustrates differences in genetic diversity and evolution between central and peripheral populations, particularly in tropical marine species influenced by ocean currents like the Kuroshio Current.
- The study used 2,677 SNPs from RAD sequencing to analyze genetic patterns in Indo-Pacific reef fish populations along the Kuroshio Current, revealing distinct lineages and evidence of local adaptation in peripheral areas.
- Findings support CCPM predictions, showing isolation and genetic differences between sites, with smaller peripheral populations likely influenced by genetic drift and natural selection, especially around the Ryukyu Islands.
