Hybridization has played an important role in the evolution of many lineages. With the
growing availability of genomic tools and advancements in genomic analyses, it is becoming …

Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

In response to ever-increasing anthropogenic changes to natural ecosystems, regional,
national and international organizations have established guidelines for monitoring …

A defining feature of species is that their constituting populations are connected by gene
flow. However, interspecific gene flow (introgression) can affect species integrity. If some …

The benefits and risks of human-aided translocation of individuals within the species range,
assisted gene flow (AGF), depend on the genetic divergence, on the rate and direction of …

The current epidemic of the mountain pine beetle (MPB), an indigenous pest of western
North American pine, has resulted in significant losses of lodgepole pine. The leading edge …

Hybridization has a major role in evolution—from the introgression of important phenotypic
traits between species, to the creation of new species through hybrid speciation. Molecular …

Sympatric populations of insects adapted to different host plants, ie, host races, are good
models to investigate how natural selection can promote speciation in the face of ongoing …

We present the computer program hybridlab 1.0 for simulating intraspecific hybrids from
population samples of nuclear genetic markers such as microsatellites, allozymes or SNPs …

The widespread occurrence of free‐ranging domestic or feral carnivores (dogs, cats) or
ungulates (pigs, goats), and massive releases of captive‐reproduced game stocks …
