Genetic and ecophysiological evidence that hybridization facilitated lineage diversification in yellow Camellia (Theaceae) species: a case study of natural hybridization between C. micrantha and C. flavida
BackgroundHybridization is generally considered an important creative evolutionary force, yet this evolutionary process is still poorly characterized...

Approaches to the Detection of Hybridization Events and Genetic Introgression upon Phylogenetic Incongruence
AbstractIntrogressive hybridization is a widespread phenomenon in the evolution of plants and animals. The conclusion of interspecific gene flow is...

Anthropogenic hybridization and its influence on the adaptive potential of the Sardinian wild boar (Sus scrofa meridionalis)
The wild boar ( Sus scrofa meridionalis ) arrived in Sardinia with the first human settlers in the early Neolithic with the potential to hybridize with...

The Research Advances in Animal Distant Hybridization and Polyploid Organisms
Distant hybridization leads to genetic changes which contribute to rapid evolution and heterosis for higher growth rates, better adaptability, and...

Genomic analysis reveals limited hybridization among three giraffe species in Kenya
BackgroundIn the speciation continuum, the strength of reproductive isolation varies, and species boundaries are blurred by gene flow. Interbreeding...

Hybridization and polyploidization effects on LTR-retrotransposon activation in potato genome
Hybridization and polyploidization are major forces in plant evolution and potatoes are not an exception. It is proposed that the proliferation of...

Interspecific hybridization as a driver of fungal evolution and adaptation
Cross-species gene transfer is often associated with bacteria, which have evolved several mechanisms that facilitate horizontal DNA exchange....
