▪ Abstract Insect molecular systematics has undergone remarkable recent growth. Advances
in methods of data generation and analysis have led to the accumulation of large amounts of …

The older history of hybrid zones is explored through consideration of recent advances in
climatology, paleontology and phylogeography in the Late Cenozoic, particularly the …

The insects that feed on the related plant families Apocynaceae and Asclepiadaceae (here
collectively termed “milkweeds”) comprise a “component community” of highly specialized …

Hybrid zones are regions where individuals from genetically differentiated populations meet
and mate, resulting in at least some offspring of mixed ancestry. Patterns of gene flow …

The pattern of character variation within a hybrid zone, the hybrid zone structure, has been
used to infer the processes that maintain hybrid zones. Unfortunately it is difficult to infer …

A well-supported molecular phylogeny for North American Gryllus species based on a
combined data set of mitochondrial (mt) DNA is presented. A total of 26 individuals …

Population genetics theory predicts that genetic drift should eliminate shared polymorphism,
leading to monophyly or exclusivity of populations, when the elapsed time between lineage …

Hybrid zones act as genomic sieves. Although globally advantageous alleles will spread
throughout the zone and neutral alleles can be freely exchanged between species …

Simple Summary This review aimed to provide an exhaustive overview of the advancements
in avian SCZ research. In the review, we summarize the latest research on trait variations in …

One of the central questions in evolutionary genetics is how much of the genome is involved
in the early stages of divergence between populations, causing them to be reproductively …
