A need for standardized reporting of introgression: Insights from studies across eukaryotes
Evolution Letters, 2022 With the rise of affordable next‐generation sequencing technology, introgression—or the exchange of genetic materials between taxa—has become widely perceived to be a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature.

Adaptive introgression: a plant perspective [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2018 Introgression is emerging as an important source of novel genetic variation, alongside standing variation and mutation. It is adaptive when such introgressed alleles are maintained by natural selection. Recently, there has been an explosion in the number of studies on adaptive introgression.

Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMost bacteria engage in gene flow through homologous recombination, and this mechanism may play a crucial role in maintaining species cohesiveness, much like sexual reproduction does in eukaryotes. However, introgression has been reported in bacteria and

Agronomy, 2023 Introgression is an important driver of new genetic variation that increases species and genetic diversity. However, the relationship between introgression and geographic distribution of upland cotton is still unclear.

Scientific Reports, 2022 The Asian cultivated rice consists of two major subspecies: indica and japonica. There are already many reports about the existence of genetic introgression between the two subspecies.

Insects, 2023 The human management of honey bees (Apis mellifera) has resulted in the widespread introduction of subspecies outside of their native ranges. One well known example of this is Apis mellifera mellifera, native to Northern Europe, which has now been ...

Adaptation by introgression [PDF]
Journal of Biology, 2009 Both selective and random processes can affect the outcome of natural hybridization. A recent analysis in BMC Evolutionary Biology of natural hybridization between an introduced and a native salamander reveals the mosaic nature of introgression, which is probably caused by a combination of selection and demography.

Divergence-Based Introgression Polarization [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 Abstract Introgressive hybridization results in the transfer of genetic material between species, often with fitness implications for the recipient species. The development of statistical methods for detecting the signatures of historical introgression in whole-genome data has been a major area of focus.

Ghost introgression facilitates genomic divergence of a sympatric cryptic lineage in Cycas revoluta
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 A cryptic lineage is a genetically diverged but morphologically unrecognized variant of a known species. Clarifying cryptic lineage evolution is essential for quantifying species diversity. In sympatric cryptic lineage divergence compared with allopatric
