Phylogenomic assessment of the role of hybridization and introgression in trait evolution.

Trait evolution among a set of species-a central theme in evolutionary biology-has long been understood and analyzed with respect to a species tree. However, the field of phylogenomics, which has been propelled by advances in sequencing technologies, has ushered in the era of species/gene tree incon...

description Trait evolution among a set of species-a central theme in evolutionary biology-has long been understood and analyzed with respect to a species tree.
