“…Islands of divergence are often expected only under certain genetic architectures and selection scenarios which have been shown to be less prevalent in conifers (Alberto et al., ; Lind et al., ; Pritchard & Di Rienzo, ; Rajora, Eckert, & Zinck, ). Alternatively, given the large and complex genomes of conifers (reviewed by De La Torre, Birol et al., ), our ddRADseq markers likely underrepresented genic regions, which are often identified as islands of divergence (Marques et al., ; Moreno‐Letelier & Barraclough, ; Nosil & Feder, ; Zhou, Zhang, Liu, Wu, & Savolainen, ). For example, Moreno‐Letelier and Barraclough () demonstrated the potential for islands of divergence at drought‐associated genes, which had a high average F ST of 0.33 (0.09–0.40) as compared to the genome‐wide estimate from this study ( F ST‐species = 0.02).…”
