The Balearic shearwater (<i>Puffinus mauretanicus</i>, above) and the Mediterranean shearwater (<i>Puffinus yelkouan</i>, a below) are two shearwater taxa that are genetically similar despite displaying morphological and migratory differences. The new study shows that these two taxa have undergone recurrent episodes of divergence and hybridization during the Pleistocene glacial and interglacial cycles, respectively. This serves as a key example of how hybridization can help preserve genetic diversity and evolutionary potential in threatened taxa. <i>Credit: Victor Paris</i>
