“…In turn, narrow thermal tolerances should bias dispersal to occur most frequently between environments with similar temperature regimes, leading to neutral genetic differentiation associated with temperature and independent of geographic distance (Wang & Bradburd, 2014). Given recent evidence for the apparent ubiquity of isolation by environment in nature (Herrera, Medrano, & Bazaga, 2017; Manthey & Moyle, 2015; Sexton, Hangartner, & Hoffmann, 2014; Sexton et al, 2014; Shi et al, 2011; Wang & Bradburd, 2014; Weber, Bradburd, Stuart, Stutz, & Bolnick, 2017) and previous work demonstrating elevational ranges and thermal physiologies of our focal taxa broadly conform to predictions of the seasonality hypothesis (Sheldon & Tewksbury, 2014), we expected to see evidence of genetic differentiation across elevational ranges in the present study. We were therefore surprised to find no evidence of population genetic structure associated with elevation and little evidence of isolation by environment in any form (Figures 2 and 3).…”
