This project uses ddRADseq data to investigate interspecific hybridization and genomic introgression between the Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) and the Syrian Woodpecker (Dendrocopos syriacus). We characterize the genetic structure and extent of gene flow in hybrid zones to determine the evolutionary consequences of secondary contact between these species.
