"We've known for quite a while that the red color pattern gene was introduced from one species to the other through #hybridization, and suspected that the same might be true for the corresponding preference. To finally show it, and identify the specific gene is really exciting"

The most interesting in a selective sweep is the shoulders.
New preprint by the team on the vanishing chromosomal footprint of an anthropogenic introgression of locally favoured foreign genes
