The contribution of hybridisation in the generation of global species diversity has long been
controversial among evolutionary biologists. However, it is now increasingly accepted that …

Reductions in genetic diversity can have widespread ecological consequences: populations
with higher genetic diversity are more stable, productive and resistant to disturbance or …

Within the last few million years, repeated invasions from the North Pacific have brought
evolutionarily divergent lineages of Macoma balthica clams into contact in the marginal and …

Hybridization events are not uncommon in marine environments where physical barriers are
attenuated. Studies of coral reef taxa have suggested that hybridization predominantly …

How species diversify, creating the astonishing biodiversity observed on Earth, has been a
central question since Darwin's On the Origin of Species. Thanks to the sequencing …

Founder populations in reintroduction programmes can experience a genetic bottleneck
simply because of their small size. The influence of reproductive skew brought on by …

Hybridisation is a major source of evolutionary innovation. However, several prezygotic and
postzygotic factors influence its likelihood and evolutionary outcomes. Differences in mating …

Hybridization between native and non-native species has serious biological consequences,
but our understanding of how dispersal and selection interact to influence invasive …

Natural hybrid zones can be used to dissect the mechanisms driving key evolutionary
processes by allowing us to identify genomic regions important for establishing reproductive …

Parallel adaptation is common and may often occur from shared genetic variation, but the
genomic consequences of this process remain poorly understood. We first use individual …
