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 …

Reproductive isolation (RI) is a core concept in evolutionary biology. It has been the central
focus of speciation research since the modern synthesis and is the basis by which biological …

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 …

The partitioning of genetic material between the nucleus and cytoplasmic (mitochondrial and
plastid) genomes within eukaryotic cells necessitates coordinated integration between these …

Mitochondria are key to energy conversion in virtually all eukaryotes. Intriguingly, despite
billions of years of evolution inside the eukaryote, mitochondria have retained their own …

Metazoans exist only with a continuous and rich supply of chemical energy from oxidative
phosphorylation in mitochondria. The oxidative phosphorylation machinery that mediates …

Inferences about past processes of adaptation and speciation require a gene-scale and
genome-wide understanding of the evolutionary history of diverging taxa. In this study, we …

Cytonuclear discordance is commonly observed in phylogenetic studies, yet few studies
have tested whether these patterns reflect incomplete lineage sorting or organellar …

The interaction and coevolution between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes are one of the
fundamental hallmarks of eukaryotic genome evolution and, 2 billion yr later, are still major …

Mitochondria, a nearly ubiquitous feature of eukaryotes, are derived from an ancient
symbiosis. Despite billions of years of cooperative coevolution—in what is arguably the most …
