Abstract: Persian walnut (Juglans regia) is cultivated worldwide for its high-quality wood and nuts, but its origin has remained mysterious because in phylogenies it occupies an unresolved position between American black walnuts and Asian butternuts. Equally… read more here.

Abstract: Although species can arise through hybridization, compelling evidence for hybrid speciation has been reported only rarely in animals. Here, we present phylogenomic analyses on genomes from 12 macaque species and show that the fascicularis group… read more here.

Population Genomic Analyses Suggest a Hybrid Origin, Cryptic Sexuality, and Decay of Genes Regulating Seed Development for the Putatively Strictly Asexual Kingdonia uniflora (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales)

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021451
Abstract: Asexual lineages are perceived to be short-lived on evolutionary timescales. Hence, reports for exceptional cases of putative ‘ancient asexuals’ usually raise questions about the persistence of such species. So far, there have been few studies… read more here.
