The importance of intrinsic postzygotic barriers throughout the speciation process
Intrinsic postzygotic barriers can play an important and multifaceted role in speciation, but
their contribution is often thought to be reserved to the final stages of the speciation process …

Mechanisms of intrinsic postzygotic isolation: from traditional genic and chromosomal views to genomic and epigenetic perspectives
Intrinsic postzygotic isolation typically appears as reduced viability or fertility of interspecific
hybrids caused by genetic incompatibilities between diverged parental genomes …

Evolutionary consequences of autopolyploidy
Autopolyploidy is more common in plants than traditionally assumed, but has received little
attention compared with allopolyploidy. Hence, the advantages and disadvantages of …

Next-generation hybridization and introgression
Hybridization has a major role in evolution—from the introgression of important phenotypic
traits between species, to the creation of new species through hybrid speciation. Molecular …

The “Polyploid Hop”: shifting challenges and opportunities over the evolutionary lifespan of genome duplications
The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …

Adaptive divergence in the monkey flower Mimulus guttatus is maintained by a chromosomal inversion
Organisms exhibit an incredible diversity of life history strategies as adaptive responses to
environmental variation. The establishment of novel life history strategies involves multilocus …

Pervasive population genomic consequences of genome duplication in Arabidopsis arenosa
Ploidy-variable species allow direct inference of the effects of chromosome copy number on
fundamental evolutionary processes. While an abundance of theoretical work suggests …

Recent speciation of Capsella rubella from Capsella grandiflora, associated with loss of self-incompatibility and an extreme bottleneck
Flowering plants often prevent selfing through mechanisms of self-incompatibility (SI). The
loss of SI has occurred many times independently, because it provides short-term …

Natural pathways to polyploidy in plants and consequences for genome reorganization
A Tayalé, C Parisod - Cytogenetic and genome research, 2013 - karger.com
The last decade highlighted polyploidy as a rampant evolutionary process that triggers
drastic genome reorganization, but much remains to be understood about their causes and …

Unidirectional diploid–tetraploid introgression among British birch trees with shifting ranges shown by restriction site‐associated markers
Hybridization may lead to introgression of genes among species. Introgression may be
bidirectional or unidirectional, depending on factors such as the demography of the …
