Introgression has been used to generate novel allotetraploid Brassica germplasm, improving the yield of Brassica napus and expanding the genetic base of Brassica carinata. The identification of ...

Hybridization may often be an important source of adaptive variation, but the extent and long-term impacts of introgression have seldom been evaluated in the phylogenetic context of a radiation. Hares ...

The physical movement of species determines their potential scope to leave their primary ecosystem behind in the quest for new niches in which to survive or reproduce--a decisive factor for the ...

Thousands of years ago, archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans went extinct. But before that, they interbred with the ancestors of present-day humans, who still to this day carry genetic ...

Climate change is driving drastic environmental shifts and accelerating global biodiversity loss. Hybrid introgression has recently emerged as a key mechanism enabling rapid adaptation to historical ...

Aim: Pelophylax frogs in East Asia provide an opportunity to explore the impact of glacial cycling on demographic and genetic dynamics, because it has been suggested that they experienced distribution ...
