Evolutionary genetics

the proposal that divergent selection on a locus lowers gene flow over large linked regions, enlarging genome islands during speciation with gene flow.

In evolutionary genetics, divergence hitchhiking refers to the proposal that divergent selection on a locus lowers gene flow over large linked regions, enlarging genome islands during speciation with gene flow. This meaning comes from Via (2008) in Molecular Ecology.[1]
