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 …

Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

Genetic polymorphism varies among species and within genomes, and has important
implications for the evolution and conservation of species. The determinants of this variation …

Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

The metaphor of 'genomic islands of speciation'was first used to describe heterogeneous
differentiation among loci between the genomes of closely related species. The biological …

Patterns of variation and evolution at a given site in a genome can be strongly influenced by
the effects of selection at genetically linked sites. In particular, the recombination rates of …

Understanding how and why populations evolve is of fundamental importance to molecular
ecology. Restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RAD seq), a popular reduced …

Hybridisation and introgression can dramatically alter the relationships among groups of
species, leading to phylogenetic discordance across the genome and between populations …

Several methods have been proposed to test for introgression across genomes. One method
tests for a genome-wide excess of shared derived alleles between taxa using Patterson's D …
