In spite of the long‐term interest in the process of balancing selection, its frequency in genomes
and evolutionary significance remain unclear due to challenges related to its detection. …

Exact location and number of glacial refugia still remain unclear for many European cold‐blooded
terrestrial vertebrates. We performed a fine‐scaled multilocus phylogeographic …

Hybridization and polyploidization are powerful mechanisms of speciation. Hybrid speciation
often coincides with whole-genome duplication (WGD) in eukaryotes. This suggests that …

Homoploid hybrid speciation in animals is poorly understood, mainly because of the scarcity
of well‐documented cases. Here, we present the results of a multilocus sequence analysis …

Hybridization and the resulting introgression can drive the success of invasive species via
the rapid acquisition of adaptive traits. The Dutch elm disease pandemics in the past 100 …

Hybridization can result in reproductively isolated and phenotypically distinct lineages that
evolve as independent hybrid species. How frequently hybridization leads to speciation …

The ‘smooth newt’, the taxon traditionally referred to as Lissotriton vulgaris , consists of
multiple morphologically distinct taxa. Given the uncertainty concerning the validity and rank of …

Genomic heterogeneity of divergence between hybridizing species may reflect heterogeneity
of introgression, but also processes unrelated to hybridization. Heterogeneous …

Applications that require resequencing of hundreds or thousands of predefined genomic
regions in numerous samples are common in studies of non-model organisms. However few …

Pathogenic fungi are a cause of growing concern. Developing an efficient and safe
antifungal is challenging because of the similar biological properties of fungal and host cells. …
