Selection against mismatched traits in hybrids is the phenotypic analogue of intrinsic hybrid
incompatibilities. Mismatch occurs when hybrids resemble one parent population for some …

Human-mediated hybridization is a leading cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. How
hybridization affects fitness and what level of hybridization is permissible pose difficult …

Chromosomal fusions are hypothesized to facilitate adaptation to divergent environments,
both by bringing together previously unlinked adaptive alleles and by creating regions of low …

The deleterious effects of inbreeding have long been known, and inbreeding can increase
the risk of extinction for local populations in metapopulations. However, other consequences …

While hybridization is recognized as important in evolution, its contribution to adaptation and
diversification remains poorly understood. Using genomically diverged island populations of …

Hybrid zones are noteworthy systems for the study of environmental adaptation to fast-
changing environments, as they constitute reservoirs of polymorphism and are key to the …

Conservation programs use breeding protocols to increase genomic divergence (by mating
genetically dissimilar individuals) in an attempt to circumvent population declines resulting …

Early generations of hybrids can express both genetic incompatibilities and phenotypic
novelty. Insights into whether these conflicting interactions between intrinsic and extrinsic …

Advances in genomic studies have revealed that hybridization in nature is pervasive and
raised questions about the dynamics of different genetic and evolutionary factors following …

As humans cause the redistribution of species ranges, hybridization between previously
allopatric species is on the rise. Such hybridization can have complex effects on overall …
