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

Genetic distance between species predicts novel trait expression in their hybrids

TL;DR: The analysis demonstrates that the potential impact hybridization may have on phenotypic evolution is predictable from the genetic distance between species.
Journal ArticleDOI

The accumulation of reproductive incompatibilities in African cichlid fish.

TL;DR: The results suggest divergent ecological adaptations may prevent populations from interbreeding and help maintain cichlid species diversity, which may be vulnerable to environmental degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic novelty in experimental hybrids is predicted by the genetic distance between species of cichlid fish.

TL;DR: The commonness and ease with which novel phenotypes are produced in cichlid hybrids between unrelated species has important implications for the interaction of hybridization with adaptation and speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization in Parasites: Consequences for Adaptive Evolution, Pathogenesis, and Public Health in a Changing World.

TL;DR: Hybridization of parasites is an emerging public health concern at the interface of infectious disease biology and evolution and can allow for heterospecific (between-species or between-lineage) mate pairings, resulting in parthenogenesis and whole-genome admixture.
