Plant species may remain morphologically distinct despite gene exchange with congeners,
yet little is known about the genomewide pattern of introgression among species. Here we …

Understanding the genetic mechanisms of speciation and basis of species differences is
among the most important challenges in evolutionary biology. Two questions of particular …

Although the sexual transfer of genetic material between species (ie introgression) has been
documented in many groups of plants and animals, genome‐wide patterns of introgression …

Hybridization between distinct species may lead to introgression of genes across species
boundaries, and this pattern can potentially persist for extended periods as long as selection …

While speciation can be found in the presence of gene flow, it is not clear what impact this
gene flow has on genome-and range-wide patterns of differentiation. Here we examine …

Genetic architecture may profoundly influence the ability of adaptive traits to spread between
species via introgressive hybridization. Here, we examine the genomic location of …

New species may arise via hybridization and without a change in ploidy. This process,
termed homoploid hybrid speciation, is theoretically difficult because it requires the …

Genomic studies of speciation often report the presence of highly differentiated genomic
regions interspersed within a milieu of weakly diverged loci. The formation of these …

Abstract Knowledge of the nature and extent of karyotypic differences between species
provides insight into the evolutionary history of the genomes in question and, in the case of …

Genetic analyses of reproductive barriers represent one of the few methods by which
theories of speciation can be tested. However, genetic study is often restricted to model …
