• Mitochondrial phylogeography, contact zones and taxonomy of grass snakes (Natrix natrix, N. megalocephala) (2013, background): “It has been repeatedly argued that mtDNA sequences alone are by far no perfect proxy for phylogeography and taxonomic differentiation, among others due to their strictly maternal inheritance, the lack of recombination, their reduced effective population size and resulting bias caused by genetic drif”
• The biogeography of mitochondrial and nuclear discordance in animals (2012, methodology): “They found that rds the colonizer, and, counter-intuitively, the genetic markers ween taxa (Currat et al. 2008; Petit & Excoffier 2009).”
• Testing for ancient admixture between closely related populations. (2011, background): “When an expanding population colonizes a new habitat and hybridizes with previous residents, breeding events at the front of expansion can result in the substantial introduction of genes in the expanding population (Currat et al. 2008).”
• Climate change induced hybridization in flying squirrels (2010, background): “The absence of introgression in a region strongly implies that interbreeding has not taken place (Currat et al., 2008).”
• Gene flow and species delimitation. (2009, background): “A higher propensity for genome components subject to low gene flow to introgress is only expected when species havecolonisedregionswhererelatedspeciesalreadyexisted ([ 12 ]; see Box 2).

• Paleoecology meets genetics: deciphering past vegetational dynamics (2009, background): “Recent studies (Klopfstein et al. 2006; Currat et al. 2008) help to clarify how events at the time of an invasion can have such a disproportionate and long-lasting impact on the genetic structure of an organism.”
• Hybridization and extinction (2016, background): “While hybridization with an invasive species was associated with extinction risk in our literature survey (P = 0.04), there were too few data to confirm (or refute) the predictions of Currat et al. (2008) regarding the direction of introgression.”
• Choosing and Using a Plant DNA Barcode (2011, background): “[75] and Petit and Excoffier [76], namely that dispersal ability may be a predictor of species discrimination success, and that there may be an inverse correlation between intraand inter-specific gene flow.”
• Plant speciation across environmental gradients and the occurrence and nature of hybrid zones (2017, background): “55 (4): 238–258, 2017 www.jse.ac.cn species, it is normal for unidirectional introgression to proceed towards the invading species (Currat et al., 2008).”
• A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome (2010, neutral): “As a consequence, detectable gene flow is predicted to almost always be from the resident population into the colonizing population, even if gene flow also occurred in the other direction (83).”
