The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer, and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …
The patterns of hybridization and asymmetrical gene flow among species are important for understanding the processes that maintain distinct species. We examined the potential for …
Leaf reflectance spectroscopy is emerging as an effective tool for assessing plant diversity and function. However, the ability of leaf spectra to detect fine‐scale plant evolutionary …
We consider approaches for conserving genetic diversity from plant populations whose destruction is imminent. We do this using SNP genotype data from two endangered species …

Although the sexual transfer of genetic material between species (ie introgression) has been documented in many groups of plants and animals, genome‐wide patterns of introgression …
We assess phylogenetic patterns of hybridization in the speciose, ecologically and economically important genus Eucalyptus, in order to better understand the evolution of …
Abstract Background and Aims Hybridization is increasingly recognized as an integral part of the dynamics of species range expansion and contraction. Thus, it is important to …
Summary 1 Habitat fragmentation can alter the relative frequency of cross‐compatible species within an area, which can affect the levels of interspecific hybrid production and …

Rare species are key targets of biodiversity conservation worldwide, but assessments of genetic diversity and conservation priority can be impeded by limited sample size. Reduced …
