Extensive genome-wide phylogenetic discordance is due to incomplete lineage sorting and not ongoing introgression in a rapidly radiated bryophyte genus
The relative importance of introgression for diversification has long been a highly disputed
topic in speciation research and remains an open question despite the great attention it has …

Genomic insights into the secondary aquatic transition of penguins
Penguins lost the ability to fly more than 60 million years ago, subsequently evolving a hyper-
specialized marine body plan. Within the framework of a genome-scale, fossil-inclusive …
