Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in population genomics have triggered great interest in the genomic landscape of divergence in taxa with 'porous' species boundaries. One important obstable of previous studies of this topic was the low genomic coverage achieved. This issue can now be overcome by the use of 'next generation' or short-read DNA-sequencing approaches capable of assaying many thousands of single nucleotide...
