Until recently, our understanding of the genetics of speciation was limited to a narrow group
of model species with a specific set of characteristics that made genetic analysis feasible …

Hybridization, or interbreeding between different taxa, was traditionally considered to be
rare and to have a largely detrimental impact on biodiversity, sometimes leading to the …

Baboons (genus Papio) are a morphologically and behaviorally diverse clade of catarrhine
monkeys that have experienced hybridization between phenotypically and genetically …

Adverse conditions in early life can have negative consequences for adult health and
survival in humans and other animals. What variables mediate the relationship between …

Over the past 2 decades, biologists have come to appreciate that hybridization, or genetic
exchange between distinct lineages, is remarkably common—not just in particular lineages …

Genomic evidence supports an important role for selection in shaping patterns of
introgression along the genome, but frameworks for understanding the evolutionary …

Hybridization and subsequent genetic introgression are now known to be common features
of the histories of many species, including our own. Following hybridization, selection often …

Y chromosome markers can shed light on male-specific population dynamics but for many
species no such markers have been discovered and are available yet, despite the potential …

Hybridization between species is widespread across the tree of life. As a result, many
species, including our own, harbor regions of their genome derived from hybridization …

Inbreeding often imposes net fitness costs, 1–5 leading to the expectation that animals will
engage in inbreeding avoidance when the costs of doing so are not prohibitive. 4–9 …
