Genomic approaches are improving taxonomic representation in genetic studies of speciation
Until recently, our understanding of the genetics of speciation was limited to a narrow group
of model species with a specific set of characteristics that made genetic analysis feasible …

Swordtail fish hybrids reveal that genome evolution is surprisingly predictable after initial hybridization
Over the past 2 decades, biologists have come to appreciate that hybridization, or genetic
exchange between distinct lineages, is remarkably common—not just in particular lineages …
