The genomic consequences of hybridization
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 …

The ecology of hybrid incompatibilities
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 lethal mitonuclear incompatibility in complex I of natural hybrids
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 …

Validity of **phophorus fish as models for human disease
Platyfish and swordtails of the genus **phophorus provide a well-established model for
melanoma research and have become well known for this feature. Recently, modelling …

Developmental mechanisms of sex differences: from cells to organisms
Male-female differences in many developmental mechanisms lead to the formation of two
morphologically and physiologically distinct sexes. Although this is expected for traits with …

Sex-biased gene expression at single-cell resolution: cause and consequence of sexual dimorphism
Gene expression differences between males and females are thought to be key for the
evolution of sexual dimorphism, and sex-biased genes are often used to study the molecular …

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 …
