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 …

Reconstructing the tree of life remains a central goal in biology. Early methods, which relied
on small numbers of morphological or genetic characters, often yielded conflicting …

Hybridization is widespread and constitutes an important source of genetic variability and
evolution. In animals, its role in generating novel and independent lineages (hybrid …

Admixture between species is a cause for concern in wildlife management. Canids are
particularly vulnerable to interspecific hybridisation, and genetic admixture has shaped their …

Freshwater bivalves are key faunal elements of aquatic ecosystems. Native species declines
are paralleled by increasing distribution and abundances of non-native species. Appropriate …

Lager yeasts are limited to a few strains worldwide, imposing restrictions on flavour and
aroma diversity and hindering our understanding of the complex evolutionary mechanisms …

The endpoint of speciation has been viewed as complete isolation and the absence of gene
flow between species. If the influx of genes from another species is maladaptive because …

Environmental adaptation traits of indigenous African cattle are increasingly being
investigated to respond to the need for sustainable livestock production in the context of …

Coral reefs face escalating pressures leading to unprecedented declines in the populations
of reef-building corals. 1, 2 Conservation genomic studies are critical in understanding and …
