Hybridization, introgression, and the nature of species boundaries

RG Harrison, EL Larson - Journal of Heredity, 2014‏ - academic.oup.com
Species can be defined as populations that are diagnosably distinct, reproductively isolated,
cohesive, or exclusive groups of organisms. Boundaries between species in sympatry are …

Coupling, reinforcement, and speciation

RK Butlin, CM Smadja - The American Naturalist, 2018‏ - journals.uchicago.edu
During the process of speciation, populations may diverge for traits and at their underlying
loci that contribute barriers to gene flow. These barrier traits and barrier loci underlie …

Genomic rearrangements and the evolution of clusters of locally adaptive loci

S Yeaman - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013‏ - pnas.org
Numerous studies of ecological genetics have found that alleles contributing to local
adaptation sometimes cluster together, forming “genomic islands of divergence.” Divergence …
