In this paper, we present results of the first comprehensive study of the introgression of both
autosomal and sex-chromosome markers across the central European portion of the hybrid …

Studies of a hybrid zone between two house mouse subspecies (Mus musculus musculus and
M. m. domesticus) along with studies using laboratory crosses reveal a large role for the X …

Behavioural isolation may lead to complete speciation when partial postzygotic isolation
acts in the presence of divergent‐specific mate‐recognition systems. These conditions exist …

Background The Mus musculus musculus/M. m. domesticus contact zone in Europe is
characterised by sharp frequency discontinuities for sex chromosome markers at the centre of …

Multilocus hybrid zone (HZ) studies predate genomics by decades. The power of early methods
is becoming apparent and now large datasets are commonplace. Relating introgression …

Two house mouse subspecies occur in Europe, eastern and northern Mus musculus musculus
(Mmm) and western and southern Mus musculus domesticus (Mmd). A secondary hybrid …

The house mouse hybrid zone (HMHZ) is a species barrier thought to be maintained by a
balance between dispersal and natural selection against hybrids. While the HMHZ is …

Conspecifics are a major environmental factor for most organisms. In sexually reproducing
species they are not only mating partners, but also partners in competitive and cooperative …

Two house mouse subspecies, Mus musculus domesticus and Mus musculus musculus,
form a hybrid zone in Europe and represent a suitable model for inferring the genes …

Wormy mice in a hybrid zone have been interpreted as evidence of low hybrid fitness, such
that parasites contribute to species separation. However, because of its natural heterogeneity…
