During the late Pleistocene, isolated lineages of hominins exchanged genes thus
influencing genomic variation in humans in both the past and present. However, the …

Despite their evolutionary relevance, multispecies networks or syngameons are rarely
reported in the literature. Discovering how syngameons form and how they are maintained …

The worldwide extinction of megafauna during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is
evident from the fossil record, with dominant theories suggesting a climate, human or …

Recent analyses suggest that cross-species gene flow or introgression is common in nature,
especially during species divergences. Genomic sequence data can be used to infer …

Human impact is noticeable around the globe, indicating that a new era might have begun:
the Anthropocene. Continuing human activities, including land‐use changes, introduction of …

Living sloths represent two distinct lineages of small-sized mammals that independently
evolved arboreality from terrestrial ancestors. The six extant species are the survivors of an …

Most new cryptic species are described using conventional tree‐and distance‐based
species delimitation methods (SDMs), which rely on phylogenetic arrangements and …

The evolutionary history of the wolf-like canids of the genus Canis has been heavily
debated, especially regarding the number of distinct species and their relationships at the …

Comparative whole-genome analyses hold great power to illuminate commonalities and
differences in the evolution of related species that share similar ecologies. The mustelid …

Reconstructing the evolution of baleen whales (Mysticeti) has been problematic because
morphological and genetic analyses have produced different scenarios. This might be …
