Mitonuclear interactions impact aerobic metabolism in hybrids and may explain mitonuclear discordance in young, naturally hybridizing bird lineages
Understanding genetic incompatibilities and genetic introgression between incipient species
are major goals in evolutionary biology. Mitochondrial genes evolve rapidly and exist in …

Contemporary intergeneric hybridization and backcrossing among birds-of-paradise
Despite large differences in morphology, behavior and lek-mating strategies the birds-of-
paradise are known to hybridize occasionally, even across different genera. Many of these …

Multigenerational hybridisation results in heterosis and facilitates adaptive introgression, with no evidence of outbreeding depression in a pair of marine gastropods
Anthropogenic environmental changes continue to threaten species globally. For example,
translocation of species has caused unintentional hybridisation, which has contributed to …
