TLDR
The various attributes of these three potential sources of adaptive variation are compared, including balancing selection for multiple alleles for major histocompatibility complex (MHC), S and csd genes, pesticide resistance in mice, black colour in wolves and white colour in coyotes, Neanderthal or Denisovan ancestry in humans, and mimicry genes in Heliconius butterflies are examined.Abstract:
Adaptive genetic variation has been thought to originate primarily from either new mutation or standing variation. Another potential source of adaptive variation is adaptive variants from other (donor) species that are introgressed into the (recipient) species, termed adaptive introgression. Here, the various attributes of these three potential sources of adaptive variation are compared. For example, the rate of adaptive change is generally thought to be faster from standing variation, slower from mutation and potentially intermediate from adaptive introgression. Additionally, the higher initial frequency of adaptive variation from standing variation and lower initial frequency from mutation might result in a higher probability of fixation of the adaptive variants for standing variation. Adaptive variation from introgression might have higher initial frequency than new adaptive mutations but lower than that from standing variation, again making the impact of adaptive introgression variation potentially intermediate. Adaptive introgressive variants might have multiple changes within a gene and affect multiple loci, an advantage also potentially found for adaptive standing variation but not for new adaptive mutants. The processes that might produce a common variant in two taxa, convergence, trans-species polymorphism from incomplete lineage sorting or from balancing selection and adaptive introgression, are also compared. Finally, potential examples of adaptive introgression in animals, including balancing selection for multiple alleles for major histocompatibility complex (MHC), S and csd genes, pesticide resistance in mice, black colour in wolves and white colour in coyotes, Neanderthal or Denisovan ancestry in humans, mimicry genes in Heliconius butterflies, beak traits in Darwin's finches, yellow skin in chickens and non-native ancestry in an endangered native salamander, are examined.read more

species as revealed by a post-genomic SNPs panel
TL;DR: In this article, a population genomic approach, using 310 SNPs developed from full transcriptomes, was examined by studying 449 individuals (NC.robusta = 213, NC. intestinalis = 236) sampled in 12 sites from the English Channel, North Sea, NW Atlantic and SE Pacific where they are found either alone or living in the same locality and habitat.

In search of the Goldilocks zone for hybrid speciation
TL;DR: A minimal model for homoploid hybrid speciation is analyzed, in which reproductive isolation is achieved by means of (postzygotic) Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities, and it is shown that, in accordance with the current literature, hybrid Speciation tends to be rare.

TL;DR: In this paper , a high-quality saker falcon genome and resequence populations across Eurasia were assembled to identify female-biased hybridization with Arctic gyrfalcons in the last glacial maximum, that endowed eastern sakers with alleles conveying larger body size and changes in fat metabolism, predisposing their cold adaptation.

TL;DR: With increasing availability of genomic tools and population genomic databases for this species group, it is poised to step further in utilizing genomics resources to answer traditionally challenging questions such as dispersal and population size estimation.
Combining molecular analyses with predictive modelling to study the population history of Iberian cryptic bats
TL;DR: This work focuses on combining methodologies from conservation and landscape genetics with predictive modelling and connectivity, to provide relevant insights on the ecological and molecular characteristics of bat cryptic species, while presenting significant outputs for conservation management.

The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution
TL;DR: The neutral theory as discussed by the authors states that the great majority of evolutionary changes at the molecular level are caused not by Darwinian selection but by random drift of selectively neutral mutants, which has caused controversy ever since.

TL;DR: The genomic data suggest that Neandertals mixed with modern human ancestors some 120,000 years ago, leaving traces of Ne andertal DNA in contemporary humans, suggesting that gene flow from Neand Bertals into the ancestors of non-Africans occurred before the divergence of Eurasian groups from each other.
