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 …

Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

Chromosomes are a central unit of genome organization. One-tenth of all described species
on Earth are butterflies and moths, the Lepidoptera, which generally possess 31 …

Hybridization allows adaptations to be shared among lineages and may trigger the evolution
of new species,. However, convincing examples of homoploid hybrid speciation remain rare …

Patterson's D, also known as the ABBA‐BABA statistic, and related statistics such as the f4‐
ratio, are commonly used to assess evidence of gene flow between populations or closely …

Hybridization, or interbreeding between different taxa, was traditionally considered to be
rare and to have a largely detrimental impact on biodiversity, sometimes leading to the …

BlastKOALA and GhostKOALA are automatic annotation servers for genome and
metagenome sequences, which perform KO (KEGG Orthology) assignments to characterize …

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 …

We used 20 de novo genome assemblies to probe the speciation history and architecture of
gene flow in rapidly radiating Heliconius butterflies. Our tests to distinguish incomplete …

Understanding why some evolutionary lineages generate exceptionally high species
diversity is an important goal in evolutionary biology. Haplochromine cichlid fishes of Africa's …
