J. Boman, K. Näsvall, R. Vila, C. Wiklund, N. Backström
The paper identifies genomic regions linked to hybrid inviability in butterflies by comparing allele frequencies in surviving and non-surviving F2 hybrids, showing these regions are in fast-evolving, low-recombination areas with chromosome fusions.
