Journal ArticleDOI

Variation in cuticular hydrocarbons across a hybrid zone in the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus

TL;DR: It is reported that cuticular hydrocarbon composition differs between the sexes and that a narrow cline for Cuticular hydrocarbons separates the subspecies of the meadow grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread hybridization within mound‐building wood ants in Southern Finland results in cytonuclear mismatches and potential for sex‐specific hybrid breakdown

TL;DR: A population of wood ant hybrids between Formica aquilonia and F. polyctena is investigated and a new hybrid locality with strong genetic differences between the sexes similar to those predicted under antagonistic selection on male and female hybrids is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and morphological phylogeny of the ancient asexual Darwinulidae (Crustacea, Ostracoda)

TL;DR: An approximate molecular clock indicates that the extant darwinulids share a common ancestor, which lived at least 100 million years ago, and results thus confirm that the five genera recognised by Rossetti & Martens (1998) are good phyletic units.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulling together or pulling apart: hybridization in theory and practice

TL;DR: The Commentaries assembled here suggest that any new paradigm recognising the near ubiquitous occurrence of hybridisation in animal and plant speciation is widely accepted, however, opinions vary much more widely as to its impact and potential role in the process of speciation.
