Wonderful day ending with @couplingdmi.bsky.social who spoke about dock mussels and how anthropogenic hybridization altered marine habitats

Thanks, now I want to go diving in commercial ports in Brittany to see them

Thanks!
The study looked at 20 vertebrate pairs and 41 invertebrate pairs. In the original paper focused on animals (2016, time flies...), the comparison showed no effect based on whether they were vertebrates or invertebrates, or on their r/K ecological strategy.

This allowed us to link molecular divergence with genetic connectivity in plants and animals. (A) Gene flow stops sooner between plant species than between animal species. (B) Genomic barriers emerge faster in plant genomes than in animals.

Using population genomic approaches, we measured (A) average genomic divergence and (B) the probability that each plant or animal pair corresponds to: (2) two populations of the same species, (3) a complex of semi-isolated species, or (4) two fully isolated species

In this study, we analyzed the demographic histories of 280 plant pairs and 61 animal pairs using genomic data describing both intraspecific polymorphism and interspecific divergence
