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.

TL;DR: The phylogeographic structure of Arabis alpina is consistent with Anatolia being the cradle of origin for global genetic diversification, which has left a genetic imprint at the global scale through four range expansions from the Anatolian diversity centre into Europe, the Near East, Arabia and Africa.

TL;DR: Light is shed on the response of alpine ferns in the QTP and HHM to the Quaternary climatic oscillations and suggests that a long term survival area (refugia) of the species was located in the Hengduan Mountains during glaciations, with probable range expansions into north-central regions during interglacial periods.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis indicated that inbreeding populations probably recolonized the Alps twice: during a recent postglacial colonization of the western Alps from a Maritime Alps refugium; and separately into the central AlpsFrom a source outside the sampling range, significant for the future development of A. alpina as a model species.

TL;DR: DArT is a demonstrably valuable addition to the set of existing molecular approaches used to infer biological phenomena such as adaptive radiations, population dynamics, hybridization, introgression, ecological differentiation and phylogeography.
