Durable crop protection is an essential component of current and future food security.
However, the effectiveness of pesticides is threatened by the evolution of resistant …

Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent genomic
analyses are showing this in many insects and vertebrates, as well as in microbes and …

Species can be defined as populations that are diagnosably distinct, reproductively isolated,
cohesive, or exclusive groups of organisms. Boundaries between species in sympatry are …

Phylogenomics has revealed the remarkable frequency with which introgression occurs
across the tree of life. These discoveries have been enabled by the rapid growth of methods …

Gene flow is a fundamental evolutionary force in adaptation that is especially important to
understand as humans are rapidly changing both the natural environment and natural levels …

As modern and ancient DNA sequence data from diverse human populations accumulate,
evidence is increasing in support of the existence of beneficial variants acquired from …

Introgression can be an important source of new alleles for adaption under rapidly changing
environments, perhaps even more important than standing variation. Though introgression …
