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 …

Hybridization may influence evolution in a variety of ways. If hybrids are less fit, the
geographical range of ecologically divergent populations may be limited, and prezygotic …

We present a statistical method for identifying species hybrids using data on multiple,
unlinked markers. The method does not require that allele frequencies be known in the …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of
wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …

Hybrid zones are 'natural laboratories' for studying the origin, maintenance and demise of
species. Theory predicts that hybrid zones can move in space and time, with significant …

This paper describes a genetic analysis of wild‐living cats in Scotland. Samples from 230
wild‐living Scottish cats (including 13 museum skins) and 74 house cats from England and …

In order to understand the origin, phylogeny, and phylogeography of the species Cervus
elaphus, we examined the DNA sequence variation of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene …

This paper's theme is that analogies drawn from the cercopithecine tribe Papionini,
especially the African subtribe Papionina (baboons, mangabeys, and mandrills), can be a …

Although polyploidy has been involved in speciation in both animals and plants, the general
perception is often that it is too rare to have been a significant factor in animal evolution and …

The study of zones of secondary contact provides insight into the maintenance of
reproductive isolation. Tension zone theory supplies powerful tools for assessing how …
