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 …

Hybridization among diverging lineages is common in nature. Genomic data provide a
special opportunity to characterize the history of hybridization and the genetic basis of …

Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare.
However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse …

Speciation events often occur in rapid bursts of diversification, but the ecological and genetic
factors that promote these radiations are still much debated. Using whole transcriptomes …

Phylogenetic networks are necessary to represent the tree of life expanded by edges to
represent events such as horizontal gene transfers, hybridizations or gene flow. Not all …

Horse domestication revolutionized warfare and accelerated travel, trade, and the
geographic expansion of languages. Here, we present the largest DNA time series for a non …

The Eneolithic Botai culture of the Central Asian steppes provides the earliest
archaeological evidence for horse husbandry,~ 5500 years ago, but the exact nature of early …

In recent articles published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Mark Springer and
John Gatesy (S&G) present numerous criticisms of recent implementations and testing of the …

The genomic changes underlying both early and late stages of horse domestication remain
largely unknown. We examined the genomes of 14 early domestic horses from the Bronze …

When multiple speciation events occur rapidly in succession, discordant genealogies due to
incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) can complicate the detection of introgression. A variety of …
