Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy.

Awa Diop, Gavin M. Douglas, Louis‐Marie Bobay

The paper quantifies introgression across bacterial lineages, finding varying levels of gene flow and its association with ecological proximity, but not substantial blurring of species borders.
