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 …

Intrinsic postzygotic isolation typically appears as reduced viability or fertility of interspecific
hybrids caused by genetic incompatibilities between diverged parental genomes …

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) has emerged as a powerful and cost‐
effective approach for population genomic studies in both model and nonmodel species …

Ecologically mediated selection against hybrids, caused by hybrid phenotypes fitting poorly
into available niches, is typically viewed as distinct from selection caused by epistatic …

A pan-genome is the nonredundant collection of genes and/or DNA sequences in a species.
Numerous studies have shown that plant pan-genomes are typically much larger than the …

The evolution of reproductive barriers is the first step in the formation of new species and
can help us understand the diversification of life on Earth. These reproductive barriers often …

Hybridization has been recognized to play important roles in evolution, however studies of
the genetic consequence are still lagging behind in vertebrates due to the lack of …

Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

While often deleterious, hybridization can also be a key source of genetic variation and pre-
adapted haplotypes, enabling rapid evolution and niche expansion. Here we evaluate these …

Sex chromosomes are generally derived from a pair of classical type-A chromosomes, and
relatively few alternative models have been proposed up to now. 1, 2 B chromosomes (Bs) …
