New insights on the evolution of distyly supergenes in Linum 👇👇
The final version of our paper on the evolution of supergenes and mechanisms underlying distyly in Linum is now up at New Phytologist doi.org/10.1111/nph....

New insights on the evolution of distyly supergenes in Linum 👇👇
Now out in Science ! Go check it out 👇👇
Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

🥳 Stay tuned!
Now accepted for publication in the New Phytologist! Stay tuned for the final, and in our opinion improved version, on the journal homepage! Big congrats to co-first authors @panazerv.bsky.social & @zopos.bsky.social and all coauthors! #Linum #supergene #distyly #heterostyly
New preprint! We investigated the evolution of supergenes and mechanisms underlying distyly in Linum species that diverged ca 33 Mya. 1/8

Genetic Isolation among Four Lineages of Silene nutans
Abstract. Speciation is the process leading to the emergence of new species. While being usually progressive, it can sometimes be fast with rapid emergence
