  1. Bazzicalupo et al analyzed introgression in Iberian and Eurasian lynx with the application of a deep convolutional neural network, detecting specific regions of the genome with signals of gene flow in three populations of these species.

  2. Hybridizing #species are usually maintained by genome-wide selection against #introgression or by selection on a few “genomic islands.” @yanivbrandvain & Shelley Sianta explore #PLOSBiology study which finds a new pattern – 60 SNPs across the #genome differentiate #Penstemon species with different #pollinators.

  3. @NaturalSelection

    I agree.

    The only thing I would have added is a summarising doodle, a cactus metaphor (#OldPost by D. Morrison: Tree metaphors and mathematical trees: phylonetworks.blogspot.com/201)

    Reds = maternal lineages (plastomes); blue = nucleomes, (speciation history), stippled arrows = "chloroplast captures" in #phylogenetics but is in fact hostile takeover via asymmetric #introgression or #hybridisation followed by backcrossing with one parent only.

  4. Belatedly, I am a plant systematist at The Morton #Arboretum, with active projects in #oaks (#phylogenetics / #phylogenomics, #hybridization, #introgression, genetic and functional #diversity), #prairies (effects of #phylogenetic and functional diversity on #restoration outcomes), #sedges (#genome and #chromosome evolution), and other plant groups. I also tweet on #botany and #NaturalHistory of the #Chicago region and other areas. Meet my lab at: systematics.mortonarb.org
