Abstract
Chromosomal
inversions
contribute
to
adaptive
speciation
by
linking
co-adapted
alleles.
Querying
1,375
genomes
of
the
species-rich
Malawi
cichlid
fish
radiation,
we
discovered
five
large
segregating

benthic
subradiation
that
each
suppress
recombination
over
more
than
half
a
chromosome.
Two
were
transferred
from
deepwater
pelagic
Diplotaxodon
via
admixture,
while
others
established
early
deep
clade.
Introgression

Inversions

We

Evolutionary

Genes

Functional

Our
