Species trees: phylogenetic relationships between the recipient, donor and outgroup species. Note that the time scale is not respected (Td and Tsp are very large) and that all species are assumed to have the same size. Coloured background: frequency of the selected allele in the different species. A single favourable haplotype is introduced into the recipient species through a rare hybridization event with the donor (red arrow) where it eventually reaches fixation. Superimposed coalescent tree: coalescent tree of a sample of n lineages, taken from the recipient population at a neutral site located at a distance d from the focus of selection. k lineages escape the selective sweep (see Eq (2)) and their polymorphism is a subsample of the neutral site frequency spectrum (see Eq (6)). The other nk lineages trace back as a single lineage into the donor species.
