Résumé

Structural variation can create supergene architectures through tight genomic linkages that maintain traits in favourable combinations. A new study by Sodeland et al. links such supergenes in Atlantic cod with species persistence over millennia, despite the fisheries-induced decline in populations. This links intraspecific supergene diversity to ecological stasis, with significant consequences for ecosystem stability.
