Searching for sympatric speciation in the genomic era
Sympatric speciation illustrates how natural and sexual selection may create new species in
isolation without geographic barriers. However, recent genomic reanalyses of classic …

Extensive genome-wide phylogenetic discordance is due to incomplete lineage sorting and not ongoing introgression in a rapidly radiated bryophyte genus
The relative importance of introgression for diversification has long been a highly disputed
topic in speciation research and remains an open question despite the great attention it has …

Hybrid speciation via inheritance of alternate alleles of parental isolating genes
Z Wang, Y Jiang, H Bi, Z Lu, Y Ma, X Yang, N Chen… - Molecular plant, 2021 - cell.com
It is increasingly realized that homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS), which involves no change
