Loss of ecologically important genetic variation in late generation hybrids reveals links between adaptation and speciation

Loss of ecologically important genetic variation in late generation hybrids reveals links between adaptation and speciation

Abstract Adaptation to contrasting environments occurs when advantageous alleles accumulate in each population, but it remains largely unknown whether these same advantageous alleles create genetic incompatibilities that can cause intrinsic reproductive isolation leading to speciation. Identifying a...
