Hybridizing #species are usually maintained by genome-wide selection against #introgression or by selection on a few “genomic islands.” @yanivbrandvain & Shelley Sianta explore #PLOSBiology study which finds a new pattern – 60 SNPs across the #genome differentiate #Penstemon species with different #pollinators.

New Study Demonstrates Influence of Neanderthal DNA on Human Complex Traits
Humans whose genetic ancestors lived outside Africa have a small proportion of the genome that traces back to interbreeding events with Neanderthals.

There are signals of #introgression throughout the genus #Helianthus (#Sunflowers). The member species are largely reproductively isolated but are nevertheless connected through through occasional or frequent gene flow.

#Hybridization and #introgression can boost #speciation, but hybridization may also cause loss of #biodiversity - how do species avoid this “dark side of introgression”? Discuss with us @m_matschiner in our symposium no.3 at #SMBE2023 in sunny Italy! https://www.smbe2023.org/

A new paper based on Paul Thompson's 1978 dissertation on the Quercus prinoides complex (the chinquapin oaks), describing two hybrids involving Q. prinoides / Q. muehlenbergii. This is a tough group... there is still ample need in North America for taxonomic discovery, documentation of variation within species, and clarification of the effects of hybridization on the species we recognize.

Then this paper is for you!
Published today in Heredity:
"High heterogeneity in genomic differentiation between
phenotypically divergent songbirds: a test of mitonuclear co-
introgression"
The study was led by Ellen Nikelski.
