My first lead-author paper is now up on #Bioarxiv ! We characterized genomic divergence and postmating reproductive isolation in a cute but understudied group of #monkeyflowers ( #Mimulus, aka #Diplacus ) and found strong isolation caused by hybrid seed inviability as well as a case of unilateral postmating prezygotic isolation and some hybrid male sterility.
