@akopyan.bsky.social et al. analysed 168 genomes of Atlantic silverside, showing that high gene flow leads to clustered divergence in large inversions, while low recombination at centromeres mimics differentiation.

Genetic Differentiation is Constrained to Chromosomal Inversions and Putative Centromeres in Locally Adapted Populations With Higher Gene Flow
Abstract. The impact of genome structure on adaptation is a growing focus in evolutionary biology, revealing an important role for structural variation and
