4/ We also found genetic signatures linked to climate adaptation, especially precipitation. Could environmental factors be shaping their invasion success? Needs more research 🌧️🪰

3/ Surprisingly, we identified adaptive genetic changes near genes linked to neural signaling, muscle development, and metabolism— that may enhance survival in new environments. ⚡🧬

2/ Our study reveals a founder effect—Galápagos populations have lower genetic diversity, indicating recent bottleneck. Despite this, we found signs of ongoing gene flow among islands. So, what’s helping them persist? 🌍🔬
