Evolution of heterogeneous genome differentiation across multiple contact zones in a crow species complex

Genetic changes accumulate as populations diverge and new species emerge. Here, Vijay et al. resequence the genomes of crow populations at various stages of genetic differentiation, and shed light on the evolutionary processes acting during the origin and hybridization of crows in Europe and Asia.

Historical DNA reveals climate adaptation in an endangered songbird

Genetic adaptation may be an important response to climate change, but limited examples of climate adaptation in wild populations exist. Comparing genetic data from historical bird specimens and contemporary individuals, the authors show shifts consistent with adaptation to climate change.

Epistatic mutations under divergent selection govern phenotypic variation in the crow hybrid zone

Analysis of crow admixed genomes in a European hybrid zone shows that variation in hybrid colour phenotypes is explained by recessive epistasis between two pigmentation genes, which are targets of divergent selection.
