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 …

Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

Temporal genomic data hold great potential for studying evolutionary processes such as
speciation. However, sampling across speciation events would, in many cases, require …

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 …

Hybridization, or interbreeding between different taxa, was traditionally considered to be
rare and to have a largely detrimental impact on biodiversity, sometimes leading to the …

Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

Understanding why some evolutionary lineages generate exceptionally high species
diversity is an important goal in evolutionary biology. Haplochromine cichlid fishes of Africa's …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swam**, where the rare
form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swam**, where population growth rates …

Yeasts, usually defined as unicellular fungi, occur in various fungal lineages. Hence, they
are not a taxonomic unit, but rather represent a fungal lifestyle shared by several unrelated …
