This study investigates how hybrid ancestry varies across populations and genomes in two monkeyflower species, finding that genomic correlations are shaped by parallel processes rather than simple selection.

The paper examines hybridization patterns in Mimulus monkeyflowers, finding stable hybrid ancestry structures and climate-driven fluctuations in reproductive isolation over a decade.

This study maps QTLs for floral traits in Mimulus species to reveal a polygenic and modular genetic architecture underlying pollination syndrome divergence.

The paper investigates postzygotic isolation in hybridizing Mimulus species, finding persistent hybrid incompatibilities despite ongoing introgression.

This study maps genetic causes of hybrid incompatibility in monkeyflowers across generations, identifying structural and genic incompatibilities that reduce hybrid viability.

The paper develops a statistical method to detect genomic structural variation using genetic mapping data from Mimulus guttatus crosses, correcting reference genome errors and identifying chromosomal inversions.
