Coalescent variation
Different genomic regions have different genealogical histories.

Different genomic regions have different genealogical histories.
Advances in species tree inference
Joint gene tree & species tree inference (e.g., *BEAST, BPP)
Summary inference based on gene-tree inputs (e.g., ASTRAL)

Introgression in the context of biology
Are introgressive patterns concordant with reproductive traits, or geography?
Folk et al. (2018)
Introgression in the context of biology
Sliding windows can reveal interplay of introgression and selection

A disconnect between theory and practice
Sliding windows reveal genealogical variation; but what is our expectation?
Species tree/network models could provide a better null.
Martin et al. (2017)
Additional sources of information.
Recombination rate are correlated with retention of introgressed blocks
But such data are not readily available for many taxa...

Concluding
> Increased availability of genome-wide comparative data
> Hierarchical model inference (e.g., species trees/networks)
> Spatial investigation (e.g., sliding windows)
> Introgression in the context of biology (traits, geography, selection)
> Combining spatial and hierarchical models
