Chromosomal inversions have long fascinated evolutionary biologists due to their
suppression of recombination, which can protect co-adapted alleles. Emerging research …

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 …

Large-scale genome-structural evolution is common in various organisms. Recent
developments in speciation genomics revealed the importance of inversions, whereas the …

Chromosomal inversions have the potential to play an important role in evolution by
reducing recombination between favorable combinations of alleles. Until recently, however …

Plant speciation and diversification strongly rely on structural changes in the nuclear
genome, both at the whole ploidy and individual chromosome level. Phylogenetic …

Hybrid zones provide a powerful opportunity to analyze ecological and evolutionary
interactions between divergent lineages. As such, research on hybrid zones has played a …

Understanding and exploiting genetic diversity is a key factor for the productive and stable
production of rice. Here, we utilize 73 high-quality genomes that encompass the …

A recipe for dissolving incipient species into a continuum of phenotypes is to recombine their
genetic material. Therefore, students of speciation have become increasingly interested in …

Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

Allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) originated through a combination
of polyploid and homoploid hybridization, domestication of an interspecific hybrid lineage …
