Abstract excerpt
Admixture between genetically divergent populations facilitates genomic studies of the mechanisms involved in adaptation, reproductive isolation, and speciation, including mapping of the loci involved in these phenomena. Little is known about how pre- and postzygotic barriers will affect the prospects of "admixture mapping" in wild species. We have studied 93 mapped genetic markers (microsatellites, indels, and...
