African bush pigs exhibit porous species boundaries and appeared in Madagascar concurrently with human arrival

R. F. Balboa, L. D. Bertola, A. Bruniche-Olsen, M. S. Rasmussen, X. Liu, G. Besnard, J. Salmona, C. G. Santander, S. He, D. Zinner, M. Pedrono, V. Muwanika, C. Masembe, M. Schubert, J. Kuja, , R. Heller

This study analyzes whole genomes of African bushpigs and Malagasy bushpigs, revealing recent divergence and gene flow, challenging species boundaries and linking their arrival in Madagascar to human migration.
