Asian mock vipers of the genus Psammodynastes and African forest snakes of the genus
Buhoma are two genera belonging to the snake superfamily Elapoidea. The phylogenetic …

Revealing the mechanisms of speciation remains one of the most attractive and challenging
issues in the field of evolutionary biology, and is also key to understanding the biodiversity …

Disentangling the genomic intricacies underlying speciation and the causes of discordance
between sources of evidence can offer remarkable insights into evolutionary dynamics. The …

Otariid gammaherpesvirus 1 (OtGHV1) is associated with high rates of urogenital carcinoma
in free-ranging California sea lions (Zalophus californianus; CSL), and until recently was …

We examined the ultrastructure of the mammalian os penis at the high‐resolution
synchrotron level. Previously, bacular microanatomy had only been investigated …

物种形成研究是人们关于新物种如何产生和维持的思考和探索, 是进化生物学最重要的组成部分
之一. 对物种形成方式, 生殖隔离产生过程及其内在遗传机制的探究和揭示 …

New species are formed either by the splitting of a lineage in two or through hybridization of
divergent lineages. Using genetics to understand the origin and persistence of species is a …

A new species can form through hybridization between species. Hybrid speciation in
animals has been intensely debated, partly because hard evidence for the process has …

Homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS) is an enigmatic evolutionary process where new
species arise through hybridization of divergent lineages without changes in chromosome …

Generally, a species is defined as an independent unit that is reproductively isolated from
others. However, deviations from this definition are not uncommon. For example, cross …
