Happy to share this paper with @samyeaman.bsky.social, now published in Molecular Biology and Evolution!
Using replicated hybrid zones, we explored patterns of local adaptation and introgression in spruce and found strong signals even at very fine geographical scales!

Abstract. Hybridization between species can occur along repeated zones of contact, providing a natural laboratory for studying the interplay between migrat
