The details for this subtopic are still under development. Possible questions that could be addressed in this subtopic include:
- How much gene flow is allowed to maintain two species as phenotypically discontinuous? (Integrative taxonomy)
- How much hybridization is possible between different species without affecting genome integrity and producing inviable offspring?
- Is there extinction at the genomic level?
We envision here first and foremost a comparative approach across different species or taxa and not so much work on model species only.
