Introgression is emerging as an important source of novel genetic variation, alongside
standing variation and mutation. It is adaptive when such introgressed alleles are …

Hybridization, defined as breeding between two distinct taxonomic units, can have an
important effect on the evolutionary patterns in cross-breeding taxa. Although interspecific …

• Premise of the study: Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed‐propagated annual
crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution …

The benefits and risks of human-aided translocation of individuals within the species range,
assisted gene flow (AGF), depend on the genetic divergence, on the rate and direction of …

Hybrid zones provide a powerful opportunity to analyze ecological and evolutionary
interactions between divergent lineages. As such, research on hybrid zones has played a …

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 …

Testing how populations are locally adapted and predicting their response to their future
environment is of key importance in view of climate change. Landscape genomics is a …

Previous phylogenetic studies in oaks (Quercus, Fagaceae) have failed to resolve the
backbone topology of the genus with strong support. Here, we utilize next-generation …

Climate change is profoundly affecting the evolutionary trajectory of individual species and
ecological communities, in part through the creation of novel species assemblages. How …

Hybridization as an evolutionary process has been studied in depth over the past few
decades. Research has focused on its role in sha** reproductive barriers, its adaptive …
