Hybridization among diverging lineages is common in nature. Genomic data provide a
special opportunity to characterize the history of hybridization and the genetic basis of …

Hybrid zones provide a powerful opportunity to analyze ecological and evolutionary
interactions between divergent lineages. As such, research on hybrid zones has played a …

Massively parallel short‐read sequencing technologies, coupled with powerful software
platforms, are enabling investigators to analyse tens of thousands of genetic markers. This …

Species can be defined as populations that are diagnosably distinct, reproductively isolated,
cohesive, or exclusive groups of organisms. Boundaries between species in sympatry are …

Reduced representation genome‐sequencing approaches based on restriction digestion
are enabling large‐scale marker generation and facilitating genomic studies in a wide range …

Understanding the evolutionary history of diversifying lineages and the delineation of
evolutionarily significant units and species remains major challenges for evolutionary …

Hybrid zones have been promoted as windows on the evolutionary process and as
laboratories for studying divergence and speciation. Patterns of divergence between …

Adaptive divergence and speciation may happen despite opposition by gene flow.
Identifying the genomic basis underlying divergence with gene flow is a major task in …

Over the past few years, new high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have
dramatically increased speed and reduced sequencing costs. However, the use of these …

Detailed information about the geographic distribution of genetic and genomic variation is
necessary to better understand the organization and structure of biological diversity. In …
