Our results also demonstrate that the direction of gene flow is mainly from the locally endemic V. porphyriana. We hypothesize that the large Siberian plains and topographically diverse foreland of the Altai Mountains provide an ideal setting for hybridization with the potential for adaptive introgression of alleles conferring tolerance to cooler climates, to the lowland species migrating into the Altai Mountains.</mods:affiliation>

The width of the bars represents the effective population size of each species.

Migration rates are based on per generation parameter (Msx = msx · θx / 4), which is the proportion of individuals in population x arrived by migration from another population per generation. Gene flow has been calculated using the total migration rate, cases where the total rate is low, it approximates the probability of gene flow between the two species. However, for higher rates, we adjusted probabilities into rates with the equation P = 1 em (where P = the probability of gene flow, e = exponent, and m = total migration rate; following vonHoldt &amp; al., 2016).
