Demographic modelling with whole-genome data reveals parallel origin of similar Pundamilia cichlid species after hybridization.

abstract：:One of the most striking and consistent results in speciation genomics is the heterogeneous divergence observed across the genomes of closely related species. This pattern was initially attributed to different levels of gene exchange-with divergence preserved at loci generating a barrier to gene flow but homogenized a...
