Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization as an invasion of the genome

TL;DR: This work surveys studies of natural interspecific hybridization in plants and a variety of animals to show that limited invasions of the genome are widespread, with potentially important consequences in evolutionary biology, speciation, biodiversity, and conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species

Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra, +83 more
- 05 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is inferred that closely related Heliconius species exchange protective colour-pattern genes promiscuously, implying that hybridization has an important role in adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host races in plant–feeding insects and their importance in sympatric speciation

TL;DR: This work provides verifiable criteria to distinguish host races from other biotypes, and discusses applications of an understanding of host races in conservation and in managing adaptation by pests to control strategies, including those involving biological control or transgenic parasite-resistant plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

A species definition for the modern synthesis

TL;DR: The emerging solution to the species problem is an updated, genetic version of Darwin's own definition, which is useful and is already being used in taxonomy, in biodiversity studies and in evolution.
