Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Natural hybridization plays a key role in shaping genetic diversity, local adaptation, and the dynamics of speciation through interspecific gene flow. Hybrid zones serve as valuable natural systems for studying these processes. In this research, we used genotypic data at thousands of nuclear SNPs to investigate genomic outcomes of hybridization and selection across three contact zones of closely...
