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 …

Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

The past few years have witnessed a revolution in our ability to obtain DNA from ancient
humans. This important new data has added to our knowledge from archaeology and …

The metaphor of 'genomic islands of speciation'was first used to describe heterogeneous
differentiation among loci between the genomes of closely related species. The biological …

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 …

Hybridization has played an important role in the evolution of many lineages. With the
growing availability of genomic tools and advancements in genomic analyses, it is becoming …

In recent articles published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Mark Springer and
John Gatesy (S&G) present numerous criticisms of recent implementations and testing of the …

Most great ape genetic variation remains uncharacterized,; however, its study is critical for
understanding population history,,,, recombination, selection and susceptibility to disease …

Species of the Bos genus, including taurine cattle, zebu, gayal, gaur, banteng, yak, wisent
and bison, have been domesticated at least four times and have been an important source …

The complex correlation structure of a collection of orthologous DNA sequences is uniquely
captured by the “ancestral recombination graph”(ARG), a complete record of coalescence …
