Hybrid adaptation is hampered by Haldane's sieve.

Abstract excerpt

Hybrids between species exhibit plastic genomic architectures that could foster or slow down their adaptation. When challenged to evolve in an environment containing a UV mimetic drug, yeast hybrids have reduced adaptation rates compared to parents. We find that hybrids and their parents converge onto similar molecular mechanisms of adaptation by mutations in pleiotropic transcription factors, but at a different...
