Abstract excerpt

Evolution relentlessly challenges any concept of species, and human efforts to fit a taxonomic hypothesis to patterns in nature often seem unsatisfactory. Genomics show that a solution does not always come with more data: a fine-scaled view may reveal populations with a more gradual array of differentiation, infer cases of hybrid origin and bring to light the existence of ghost populations. The false heath...
