A need for standardized reporting of introgression: Insights from studies across eukaryotes
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.

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 ...

Abstract Background Plant responses to deficiencies of the micronutrient boron are diverse and go beyond the well‐characterized function of boron in cell wall crosslinking. To explain these phenotypic discrepancies, hypotheses about interactions of boron with various phytohormones have been proposed, particularly auxin.

Differential introgression and the maintenance of species boundaries in an advanced generation avian hybrid zone [PDF]
Background: Evolutionary processes, including selection and differential fitness, shape the introgression of genetic material across a hybrid zone, resulting in the exchange of some genes but not others.

Ghost introgression facilitates genomic divergence of a sympatric cryptic lineage in Cycas revoluta
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

Origins, Dispersal, and Impact: Bidirectional Introgression Between Chinese and European Pig Populations [PDF]
This study investigates bidirectional introgression between Chinese and European pig populations, revealing 3558 introgressed genomic segments and 30 structural variations. Analysis of the BMP2 region suggests its role in body size enhancement. By integrating ancient and modern genomes, the study highlights the impact of introgression on genetic ...

Large-scale introgression shapes the evolution of the mating-type chromosomes of the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma. [PDF]
The significance of introgression as an evolutionary force shaping natural populations is well established, especially in animal and plant systems. However, the abundance and size of introgression tracts, and to what degree interspecific gene flow is the

As an important driving force, introgression plays an essential role in shaping the evolution of plant species. However, knowledge concerning how introgression affects plant evolution in agroecosystems with strong human influences is still limited.

Introgression from wild relatives is a valuable source of novel allelic diversity for breeding. We investigated the genomic patterns of introgression from Aegilops tauschii, the diploid ancestor of the wheat D genome, into winter wheat (Triticum aestivum)
