The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

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 …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

Speciation rates vary considerably among lineages, and our understanding of what drives
the rapid succession of speciation events within young adaptive radiations remains …

In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

The rediscovery of Mendel's work showing that the heredity of phenotypes is controlled by
discrete genes was followed by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with evolution by …

Adaptive radiation plays a fundamental role in our understanding of the evolutionary
process. However, the concept has provoked strong and differing opinions concerning its …

Speciation is the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations.
Although we now know that speciation is largely driven by natural selection, knowledge of …

Although some lineages of animals and plants have made impressive adaptive radiations
when provided with ecological opportunity, the propensities to radiate vary profoundly …

A fundamental goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic architecture of
adaptive traits. Using whole-genome data of 3955 of Darwin's finches on the Galápagos …
