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 …

Hybridization has been recognized to play important roles in evolution, however studies of
the genetic consequence are still lagging behind in vertebrates due to the lack of …

Hybridization allows adaptations to be shared among lineages and may trigger the evolution
of new species,. However, convincing examples of homoploid hybrid speciation remain rare …

Karyotype diversification represents an important, yet poorly understood, driver of evolution.
Squamate reptiles are characterized by a high taxonomic diversity which is reflected at the …

Parallel and convergent evolution offer some of the most compelling evidence for the
significance of natural selection in evolution, as the emergence of similar adaptive solutions …

Cichlid fishes of the genus Oreochromis (tilapia) are among the most important fish for
inland capture fisheries and global aquaculture. Deliberate introductions of non-native …

Despite the importance of hybridization in evolution, the evolutionary consequence of
homoploid hybridizations in plants remains poorly understood. Specially, homoploid …

Clownfish (subfamily Amphiprioninae) are an iconic group of coral reef fish that evolved a
mutualistic interaction with sea anemones, which triggered the adaptive radiation of the …

Hybrid zones can be studied by modeling clines of trait variation (eg, morphology, genetics)
over a linear transect. Yet, hybrid zones can also be spatially complex, can shift over time …

Clownfish (subfamily Amphiprioninae) are an iconic group of coral reef fish that evolved a
mutualistic interaction with sea anemones, which was shown to have triggered the adaptive …
