Dynamics of mtDNA introgression during species range expansion: insights from an experimental longitudinal study
27 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Introgressive hybridization represents one of the long-lasting debated genetic consequences of species range expansion. Mitochondrial DNA has been shown to heavily introgress between interbreeding animal species that meet in new sympatric areas and, often, asymmetric introgression from local to the colonizing populations has been observed. Disentangling among the evolutionary and ecological processes that might...
