Multigenerational hybridisation results in heterosis and facilitates adaptive introgression, with no evidence of outbreeding depression in a pair of marine gastropods.

Abstract excerpt

Anthropogenic environmental changes continue to threaten species globally. For example, translocation of species has caused unintentional hybridisation, which has contributed to species declines. On the other hand, hybridisation can be used to increase the evolutionary potential of species vulnerable to rapid environmental change, although the benefits of mixing genetically divergent lineages do not come without...
