Evolution of heterogeneous genome differentiation across multiple contact zones in a crow species complex

Genetic changes accumulate as populations diverge and new species emerge. Here, Vijay et al. resequence the genomes of crow populations at various stages of genetic differentiation, and shed light on the evolutionary processes acting during the origin and hybridization of crows in Europe and Asia.
