Differential gene expression reveals mechanisms related to habitat divergence between hybridizing orchids from the Neotropical coastal plains

Abstract Background Closely related hybridizing species are ideal systems for identifying genomic regions underlying adaptive divergence. Although gene expression plays a central role in determining ecologically-based phenotypic differences, few studies have inferred the role of gene expression for...
