Introgression is emerging as an important source of novel genetic variation, alongside
standing variation and mutation. It is adaptive when such introgressed alleles are …

It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

Introgression can be an important source of new alleles for adaption under rapidly changing
environments, perhaps even more important than standing variation. Though introgression …

Forest ecosystems provide important ecological services and resources, from habitat for
biodiversity to the production of environmentally friendly products, and play a key role in the …

Phylogenetic analysis is complicated by interspecific gene flow and the presence of shared
ancestral polymorphisms, particularly those maintained by balancing selection. In this study …

Introgression may act as an important source of new genetic variation to facilitate the
adaptation of organisms to new environments, yet how introgression might enable tree …

Adaptive capacity, one of the three determinants of vulnerability to climate change, is
defined as the capacity of species to persist in their current location by coping with novel …

An increasing number of species are thought to have originated by homoploid hybrid
speciation (HHS), but in only a handful of cases are details of the process known. A previous …

Genomic divergence with gene flow is very common in both plants and animals. However,
divergence and gene flow are two counteracting factors during speciation. Identifying the …

Key message Geometric morphometric analyses (GMMs) of the leaf shape can distinguish
two congeneric oak species Quercus dentata Thunberg and Quercus aliena Blume in …
