Abstract excerpt
Hybridization may offer a form of genetic rescue from warming temperatures through the introgression of heat-adapted alleles from a high-tolerance population into a low-tolerance population. However, the success of adaptive introgression can be impeded by incompatibility at other loci, especially those that participate in coadapted gene complexes that could lead to unfavorable combinations in hybrids. We tested...
