Abstract Hybridisation and gene flow can have both deleterious adaptive consequences for natural populations species. To better understand the extent of hybridisation in nature balance between its beneficial outcomes a changing environment, information on naturally hybridising nonmodel organisms is needed. This requires characterisation structure hybrid zones. Here, we study five keystone mound‐building wood ant species Formica rufa group across Finland. No genomic studies exist, differentiation sympatry unknown. Combining genome‐wide morphological data, demonstrate more extensive than was previously detected all Specifically, reveal mosaic zone aquilonia , F. polyctena comprising further generation populations. Despite this, find that lugubris pratensis form distinct pools We also hybrids occupy warmer microhabitats nonadmixed cold‐adapted suggest warm winters springs, particular, may benefit over most abundant In summary, our results indicate create potential could promote persistence climate. Additionally, they highlight potentially significant ecological evolutionary zones, within which independent face an array intrinsic selection pressures.

Abstract The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past decade, a large number of studies adopting hundreds thousands genes across wealth clades have emerged ushered phylogenetics evolution into new era. meantime, roadmap researchers when making decisions different approaches their phylogenomic research design is imminent. This review focuses on utility genomic data (from organelle genomes, both reduced representation whole‐genome sequencing) in evolutionary investigations, describes baseline methodology experimental analytical procedures, summarizes recent progress flowering phylogenomics at ordinal, familial, tribal, lower levels. We also discuss challenges, such as adverse impact orthology inference reconstruction raised from systematic errors, underlying biological factors, duplication, hybridization/introgression, incomplete lineage sorting, together suggesting that bifurcating tree may not be best model life.

Abstract Genomic evidence is increasingly underpinning that hybridization between taxa commonplace, challenging our views on the mechanisms maintain their boundaries.

Recent adaptive radiations are models for investigating mechanisms contributing to the evolution of biodiversity. An unresolved question is relative importance new mutations, ancestral variants, and introgressive hybridization phenotypic speciation. Here, we address this issue using Darwin’s finches investigate genomic architecture underlying their diversity. Admixture mapping beak body size in small, medium, large ground revealed 28 loci showing strong genetic differentiation. These represent haplotype blocks with origins predating speciation events during finch radiation. Genes expressed developing overrepresented these regions. Ancestral haplotypes constitute modules selection act as key determinants unusual diversity finches. Such can be critical how species adapt environmental variability change.

Parallel evolution of the same, or at least very similar, phenotype(s) in different lineages is often interpreted as evidence for action natural selection. However, caution required when inferring parallel based on uncertain potentially incorrect phylogenetic frameworks. Here, by conducting extensive phylogenomic and population genetic analyses, we aim to clarify evolutionary history spurless taxa within Aquilegia ecalcarata complex. We observed substantial discordance patterns across entire genome, primarily attributed ancient introgression incomplete lineage sorting. Additionally, identified several whose positions were distorted admixture events. Using a backbone tree demographic modeling, determined that these independently originated twice this group. Intriguingly, our investigation revealed experienced expansion during global cooling, while their spurred sister groups underwent contraction. The losses petal spurs, therefore, may be linked adaptations low-temperature conditions. These findings emphasize importance comprehensive population-level analyses inference provide valuable insights into dynamics trait loss its implications adaptive strategies.

To understand relevance introgressive hybridization during diversification Lepus, we analyzed whole exome sequences (61.7 Mb) from 15 hares (1-4 individuals per species), spanning global distribution genus, two outgroups. We used coalescent framework to infer relationships divergence times, despite extensive genealogical discordance. found high levels allele sharing among show that this reflects incomplete lineage sorting temporally layered hybridization.

Current global climate change is expected to affect biodiversity negatively at all scales leading mass loss. Many studies have shown that the distribution of allele frequencies across a species' range often influenced by specific genetic loci associated with local environmental variables. This association reflects adaptation and changes those could thereby contribute evolutionary response change. However, predicting how species will adapt from this type data alone remains challenging. In present study, we combined exome capture sequences niche reconstruction, test multiple methods for assessing resilience in two widely distributed conifers, Norway spruce Siberian spruce. Both are keystone boreal forest share vast hybrid zone. We show conifers can be detected through frequency variation, population-level ecological preferences, historical movement. Moreover, integrated information into offset predictive models hybridization plays central role expanding breadth conifer may help both cope better future changing climates. joint analysis also identified populations risk under current
