Paper alert! @JesperBoman et al bring empirical evidence for the idea that #chromosome number differences between taxa can contribute to #speciation! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I made a starter pack of speciation researchers. Please let me know if you or someone you know would like to be added. I am particularly sad that so far there are not many speciation researchers from the Global South represented. go.bsky.app/J7qDY56

First and very happy post on this site: Guenons are again breaking the rules of biology: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Outstanding work by @axeljensen.bsky.social showing exceptional Y-chromosome introgression in primates!

Y chromosome introgression between deeply divergent primate species - Nature Communications

Interspecific hybrids tend to show a sex-specific reduction in fitness, thus limiting gene flow to loci inherited through the homogametic sex. Here, the authors identify a rare Y-chromosome introgress...

New preprint on a wild Y chromosome introgression between 6 my divergent primate species! Guenons are a diverse group of African primates that hybridized a lot in the past. In this study, we looked at patterns of Y introgression… www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
