Interpreting the genomic landscape of speciation: a road map for finding barriers to gene flow
Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

The utility of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in phylogenetics
Resolving the genealogy of life—the phylogenetic relationships that describe the
evolutionary history of species—remains one of the great challenges of systematic biology …

Discovery and population genomics of structural variation in a songbird genus
MH Weissensteiner, I Bunikis, A Catalán… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Structural variation (SV) constitutes an important type of genetic mutations providing the raw
material for evolution. Here, we uncover the genome-wide spectrum of intra-and interspecific …
