How reticulated are species? Think again James Mallet1)2)*, Nora Besansky3) and Matthew W. Hahn4)

Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent well as microbes.

In microbes, lateral gene transfer is the dominant nies have become an important basis for process that spoils strictly tree-like phylogenies, but in multicellular eukaryotes our understanding of evolution; now this bedrock seems threatened. As an hybridization and introgression among related species is probably more ideal, species are often taken to be important. Because many species, including the ancestors of ancient major evolutionarily independent populations lineages, seem to evolve rapidly in adaptive radiations, some sexual that are reproductively isolated from compatibility may exist among them. Introgression and reticulation can thereby other such species, for example in the affect all parts of the tree of life, not just the recent species at the tips.

Think again Practical implications of introgression The prevalence of laterally transferred antibiotic resistance genes among bac- terial species is a well-known problem for human health [108, 109]. Similar problems might therefore be expected to result from introgression or lateral transfer among related eukaryotic pest and disease species. The African ma- laria-carrying mosquitoes provide some Figure 3. A simple case where introgression can distort the history of species and worrying examples. For example, rates speciation. By “the true phylogeny,” in this paper, we mean the totality of true histories of of hybridization between Anopheles every part of the genome. This is not readily depicted: our simplified cartoon of the true phylogeny network above indicates abundant introgression between species 1 and 2 after gambiae and A. arabiensis are only their bifurcation, but little between sister species 2 and 3. It does not, however, show which 0.22% per generation [71]. However, gene travels in which direction and when, all of which is surely important information about because this introduces foreign alleles the “true phylogeny” as well. If introgression is extensive, the whole genome tree (bottom left) at a rate far higher than mutation, there may indicate an incorrect bifurcation history, as well as ancestral species that never existed are persistent concerns that insecticide (such as the apparent ancestor of 1 and 2 in the diagram).
