Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may
slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate …

Unravelling the genomic landscape of divergence between lineages is key to understanding
speciation 1 . The naturally hybridizing collared flycatcher and pied flycatcher are important …

The importance, extent, and mode of interspecific gene flow for the evolution of species has
long been debated. Characterization of genomic differentiation in a classic example of …

The global loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate. Genomic approaches have
been suggested as a promising tool for conservation practice as scaling up to genome-wide …

Genome sequencing projects were long confined to biomedical model organisms and
required the concerted effort of large consortia. Rapid progress in high‐throughput sequencing …

The ratio of divergence at nonsynonymous and synonymous sites, dN/dS, is a widely used
measure in evolutionary genetic studies to investigate the extent to which selection …

As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

Marine mammals from different mammalian orders share several phenotypic traits adapted
to the aquatic environment and therefore represent a classic example of convergent evolution…

extraction and detailed sampling information, see Wolf et al. (2008). For this study we selected 94 …

Ecologically mediated selection has increasingly become recognised as an important driver
of speciation. The correlation between neutral genetic differentiation and environmental or …
