This project investigates how hybrid zones affect gene flow during species evolution, specifically in newts. It aims to experimentally validate the theory that genes from displaced species can remain in the genomes of invading species, providing insights into biodiversity and conservation.
Species are the currency of biodiversity.
However, during the early stages of their evolution, species are difficult to delineate, as barriers to gene flow are not yet complete.
Range expansions and contractions exaggerate the reshuffling of the genomes of hybridizing species.
The key objective of this project is to experimentally test the theoretical prediction that, under hybrid zone movement, genes derived from a displaced species are left behind in the genome of an invading species, leaving…
