In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

The evidence from ancient crops over the past decade challenges some of our most basic
assumptions about the process of domestication. The emergence of crops has been viewed …

Maize is a globally valuable commodity and one of the most extensively studied genetic
model organisms. However, we know surprisingly little about the extent and potential utility …

Introgression can be an important source of new alleles for adaption under rapidly changing
environments, perhaps even more important than standing variation. Though introgression …

The origins of maize were the topic of vigorous debate for nearly a century, but neither the
current genetic model nor earlier archaeological models account for the totality of available …

Genetic admixture is central to primate evolution. We combined 50 years of field
observations of immigration and group demography with genomic data from~ 9 generations …

Sunflowers of the genus Helianthus are models for hybridization research and contain three
of the best-studied examples of homoploid hybrid speciation. To understand a broader …

Process philosophy offers a metaphysical foundation for domestication studies. This
grounding is especially important given the European colonialist origin of 'domestication'as …

Much of the profound interspecific variation in genome content has been attributed to
transposable elements (TEs). To explore the extent of TE variation within species, we …

Convergent phenotypic evolution provides some of the strongest evidence for adaptation.
However, the extent to which recurrent phenotypic adaptation has arisen via parallelism at …
