Understanding how environmental stress alters the consequences of hybridization is
important, because the rate of hybridization and the likelihood of hybrid speciation both …

Similar phenotypes do not always imply similar genotypes. In species distributed over a
broad latitudinal range, geographical variation in morphological and life‐history traits may …

The use of multiple source populations provides a way to maximise genetic variation and
reduce the impacts of inbreeding depression in newly established translocated populations …

Speciation is facilitated when selection generates a rugged fitness landscape such that
populations occupy different peaks separated by valleys. Competition for food resources is a …

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 …

Hybrid incompatibilities occur when interactions between opposite ancestry alleles at
different loci reduce the fitness of hybrids. Most work on incompatibilities has focused on …

Hybridisation and introgression are natural phenomena that may lead to the transfer of
adaptive alleles from one species to another and increased species diversity. At the same …

When populations repeatedly adapt to similar environments they can evolve similar
phenotypes based on shared genetic mechanisms (parallel evolution). The likelihood of …

Buccinum undatum is a commercially important marine gastropod with limited dispersal
capabilities. Previous genetic studies utilising microsatellites and Double-digest Restriction …

In F1 hybrids, phenotypic values are expected to be near the parental means under additive
effects or close to one parent under dominance. However, F1 traits can fall outside the …
