DOI: 10.1111/icad.70005
Abstract: Recently diverged species often exhibit incomplete reproductive barriers, leading to potential hybridisation where their ranges overlap. Distinguishing the effects of past hybridisation and incomplete lineage sorting from contemporary secondary gene flow in species evolution remains… read more here.
