Phylogenomic assessment of the role of hybridization and introgression in trait evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Trait evolution among a set of species-a central theme in evolutionary biology-has long been understood and analyzed with respect to a species tree. However, the field of phylogenomics, which has been propelled by advances in sequencing technologies, has ushered in the era of species/gene tree incongruence and, consequently, a more nuanced understanding of trait evolution. For a trait whose states are incongruent...
