Genomic and bioacoustic variation in a midwife toad hybrid zone: A role for reinforcement?

Abstract excerpt

Hybrid zones, i.e., geographic areas where diverging lineages meet, hybridize and eventually mix their genomes, offer opportunities to understand the mechanisms behind reproductive isolation and speciation. Hybrid zones are particularly well suited to study reinforcement, i.e., the process by which selection against hybridization increases reproductive barriers, which, in anuran amphibians, is typically expressed...
