Identified noncoding genomic regions in a microevolutionary context in populations of Darwin's finches. (A) Measures for genetic differentiation among populations, FST, show contrasting genetic diversity in Darwin finch populations with blunt and pointy beaks, respectively. The identified loci associated with beak shape evolution over macroevolutionary time and nearby regions show a stronger differentiation relative to similar loci that are not associated with beak shape. (B) Total genetic diversity is higher for beak shape–associated loci and nearby regions.
