Hybridization has a major role in evolution—from the introgression of important phenotypic traits between species, to the creation of new species through hybrid speciation. Molecular studies of ...

Ligers, the hybrid offspring of lions and tigers, may sound like mythological chimeras but they are, in fact, real. Lion father + tiger mother = liger. Tiger father + lion mother = tigon. Leopard ...

Now, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that hybridization between the Mediterranean shearwater and the Balearic shearwater—a seabird at critical risk of ...

Climate change is driving drastic environmental shifts and accelerating global biodiversity loss. Hybrid introgression has recently emerged as a key mechanism enabling rapid adaptation to historical ...

Interactions between atoms and molecules are facilitated by electromagnetic fields. The bigger the distance between the partners involved, the weaker these mutual interactions are. In order for the ...

The common weed known as white clover releases toxic cyanide when its leaf tissues are damaged. This chemical defense, a response called cyanogenesis, helps it to deter insect pests. Research shows ...

SP hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital from the same atom combine to form two new orbitals of equal energy. These new orbitals are linearly oriented 180 degrees apart, leading to ...

Recent incidents point to the use of advanced operational techniques and technologies, signaling an increasing hybridization ...
