Communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in arable soils are not necessarily low in diversity.

abstract：:As populations diverge many processes can shape genomic patterns of differentiation. Regions of high differentiation can arise due to divergent selection acting on selected loci, genetic hitchhiking of nearby loci, or through repeated selection against deleterious alleles (linked background selection); this divergence...
