Adaptive Introgression as an Evolutionary Force: A Meta‐Analysis of Knowledge Trends by Pedro Horta, Helena Raposeira, Javier Juste, Orly Razgour, Hugo Rebelo

“…Despite methodological advances, key gaps remain in understanding how adaptive introgression due to hybridization functions across taxonomic groups and biological levels. This study has three objectives: (1) to explore historical trends in the understanding of adaptive introgression, particularly its genomic and functional dimensions; (2) to investigate structural organismal characteristics influencing patterns of adaptive introgression; and (3) to evaluate how adaptive introgression interacts with counteracting evolutionary mechanisms. …”

An Evolutionary View on China’s Markets for Technology: Evidence from Patent Trades by Ruifeng Hu, Teng Cai, Weiqiao Xu

“…Markets for technology have undergone remarkable changes and received considerable attention, but few studies focus on the markets of a developing country from an evolutionary perspective. Using a unique dataset of patent trades from the National Intellectual Property Administration, PRC (CNIPA), this study seeks to uncover the landscape of China’s markets for technology (CMFT) from an evolutionary view. …”
