• Researchers identified introgressant individuals in the hybrid zone between the two fish species.
• The introgressant genome contained segments of DNA from the invasive species.
• These introgressant plants displayed increased drought tolerance from their wild relatives.
• The study examined how introgressant alleles spread through the native population over generations.
