Alleles that introgress between species can influence the evolutionary and ecological fate of
species exposed to novel environments. Hybrid offspring of different species are often unfit …

The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read sequencing
technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

Chromosomes are a central unit of genome organization. One-tenth of all described species
on Earth are butterflies and moths, the Lepidoptera, which generally possess 31 …

Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions
between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome …

The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental
mammals remain controversial. We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of …

Hybridization allows adaptations to be shared among lineages and may trigger the evolution
of new species,. However, convincing examples of homoploid hybrid speciation remain rare …

Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improving global food security. Despite
bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat …

Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants
but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …
