Kayhani et al. find that introgression of warm-adapted alleles was largely successful despite the risk of introducing mitonuclear incompatibilities that could result from genome-wide shifts toward the paternal allele in Tigriopus californicus. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag158 #societyjournal
Introgression of thermal tolerance alleles drives adaptation despite risk of mitonuclear conflictAbstract. Hybridization may offer a form of genetic rescue from warming temperatures through the introgression of heat-adapted alleles from a high-tolerancdoi.org
