Extinction-colonization dynamics create linkage disequilibrium in patchily distributed fish.

Evidence

The dynamics of local extinctions, colonizations, and admixture in these desert pools has created considerable linkage disequilibrium in the Rio Fuerte population of P. monacha … The Ldh-1 and Idh-2 loci are 37.5 map units apart in linkage group I (Leslie and Vrijenhoek, 1980), and their alleles are often associated in the admixture populations. The overall genetic structure of this species is characterized by strong local differences in allelic frequencies and multilocus associations among partially isolated spring populations. — S. T. A.
