Divergent selection is the textbook explanation for narrow inversion clines.
Our blackcap inversion cline doesn't fit: it is wide, and the inversion is always the rarer arrangement. We show that negative frequency-dependent selection shifting between populations underlies this!

Shifting Balancing Selection Underlies an Inversion Cline in Eurasian Blackcap
We investigated what factor contributes to a cline of a chromosomal inversion of the Eurasian blackcap, which differs from typical inversion clines maintained by divergent selection. Using a simulati...
