The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization,
horizontal gene transfer, and viral recombination has long been
marked by controversy between researchers holding different
conceptual frameworks. Those subscribing to a doctrine of 'species
purity' have traditionally been reluctant to recognise inferences
suggesting anything other than a marginal role for non-allopatric
divergence leading to gene transfer between different lineages.
However, an increasing number of evolutionary biologists now accept
that there is a growing body of evidence indicating the existence
of non-allopatric diversification across many lineages and all
domains of biological diversity. Divergence with Genetic Exchange
investigates the mechanisms associated with evolutionary divergence
and diversification, focussing on the role played by the exchange
of genes between divergent lineages, a process recently termed
'divergence-with-gene-flow'. Although the mechanisms by which such
divergent forms of life exchange genomic material may differ
widely, the outcomes of interest - adaptive evolution and the
formation of new hybrid lineages - do not. Successive chapters
cover the history of the field, detection methodologies, outcomes,
implications for conservation programs, and the effects on the
human lineage associated with the process of genetic transfer
between divergent lineages. This research level text is suitable
for senior undergraduate and graduate level students taking related
courses in departments of genetics, ecology and evolution. It will
also be of relevance and use to professional evolutionary
biologists and systematists seeking a comprehensive and
authoritative overview of this rapidly expanding field.
