Gene Flow
Linked via "Hybridization Buffer"
The primary consequence of gene flow is the redistribution of genetic variation. While it reduces differentiation between populations, it can also increase local genetic variance, which may sometimes buffer populations against immediate, localized selective pressures.
A paradoxical effect, known as the Hybridization Buffer, occurs when moderate gene flow introduces novel [allele combinations](/entries/allele-combiā¦
