Islands are famous natural laboratories for evolution, but exactly how species adapt so rapidly to different environments remains a major question. We investigated this by sequencing the genomes of two closely related sedge plants (Carex boryana and Carex borbonica) that evolved in different habitats across an island gradient. We discovered that their rapid divergence wasn't just driven by small, gradual DNA mutations. Instead, large sections of their DNA are flipped backwards—a structural change known as a chromosomal inversion. These inversions act like locked suitcases, keeping beneficial traits packaged together so they aren't lost when the plants reproduce.
