Increased rates of hybridization in swordtail fish are associated with water pollution
Biodiversity loss can occur when disturbance compromises the reproductive barriers between species, causing them to collapse into a single population through hybridization. Recent research has documen...

So glad our paper on lethal hybrid incompatibilities is out at Nature today: rdcu.be/dvFcM ! @ben-moran.bsky.social moved mountains for this project: we identified two new incompatibilities in swordtail hybrids , characterize mechanisms of lethality, and their evolutionary history.
