Primes

• Branching and Merging
  • Reticulate evolution, in which the tree of life folds back on itself through introgression and lateral transfer, is branching and merging at the genomic scale, and the ease of re-merging falls off sharply as reproductive isolation accumulates.

    This sourceMarshals evidence that hybridization re-merges separated genetic lineages and that the viability and fertility of hybrids decline as reproductive isolation accumulates during divergence; recently split lineages hybridize far more readily than anciently split ones.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Abstract states Mallet marshals genetic evidence that hybrid speciation without polyploidy is more common than thought, i.e. hybridization re-merges lineages; it says nothing about re-merge ease.

    “Now, new genetic evidence suggests that hybrid speciation, even without polyploidy, is more common in plants and also animals than we thought.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
