Hybrid zones are increasingly common; to what extent are human impacts on the environment the cause? We used pop gen, water chemistry, GIS, and ecotoxicology to explore the causes of hybridization in swordtails. With @mollyschumer.bsky.social, now out in Current Biology! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Increased rates of hybridization in swordtails are associated with water pollution
Anthropogenic disturbance can drive hybridization by altering pre-mating reproductive
barriers. Moran et al. pair population genomic surveys with water chemistry and GIS
data to show that human develo...
