Hybrid speciation and ghost ancestry shape the Anopheles gambiae species complex

Speciation within reticulate radiations can involve both lineage divergence and hybrid lineage formation, yet recurrent introgression obscures both histories. In the Anopheles gambiae complex, gene-family presence-absence data yielded a species tree favored over four sequence-derived alternatives by network-model comparison. D-BPP analyses recovered seven reticulation events, including multiple…
