Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The insect cytochrome oxidase I gene: evolutionary patterns and conserved primers for phylogenetic studies

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the meadow grasshopper COI gene has been determined, and it is revealed that different regions evolve at different rates, and the patterns of sequence variability seems associated with functional constraints on the protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis of a hybrid zone between the fire-bellied toads, bombina bombina and b. variegata, near cracow in southern poland.

TL;DR: A survey of five diagnostic enzyme loci across the hybrid zone near Cracow in Southern Poland to estimate the dispersal rate, selection pressures, and numbers of loci which maintain this zone suggests that the zone is maintained largely by selection against hybrids.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic structure of the hybrid zone between the fire-bellied toads bombina bombina and b. variegata: comparisons between transects and between loci.

TL;DR: There is weak but significant linkage disequilibrium well away from the center of the zone; this, together with the presence of parental and F1 genotypes, suggests some long‐range migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution and structural conservation of the control region of insect mitochondrial DNA.

TL;DR: The possibility of a mechanism of “parahomologous recombination by unequal crossing-over” in mitochondria, which can explain the generation of such tandemly repeated sequences in the control region of mtDNA, and also their convergent evolution in disjunct biological lineages during evolution is discussed.
