How does sexual selection impact introgression dynamics across a hybrid zone? Long et al. (2024) used historical (1989-1994) and contemporary (2017-2020) samples to quantify the stability of a Panamanian hybrid zone between golden-collared manakins (Manacus vitellinus) and white-collared manakins (M. candei). Their analyses revealed a spatially stable hybrid zone, except for one trait, belly plumage coloration, which has introgressed into the distribution of the white-collared manakin. This finding suggests possible sexual selection for this trait.
性选择如何影响杂种区的渐渗动态?Long 等人(2024 年)利用历史(1989-1994 年)和当代(2017-2020 年)的样本,量化了巴拿马金颈丛鸦(Manacus vitellinus)和白领丛鸦(M. candei)之间的杂种区的稳定性。他们的分析显示,除了一个特征,即腹部羽毛颜色外,杂种区具有空间稳定性,而这个特征已经渐渗到白领丛鸦的分布区。这一发现表明,该特征可能受到了性选择的影响。
