Hybrid dysfunction is thought to gradually build up through the accumulation of clashes between genes as they diverge between the parental species. However, analyses of genetic incompatibilities are generally biased towards long diverged species that are kept under laboratory conditions. Here, we used RNAseq to evaluate 1) whether there was differential gene expression between naturally occurring Ficedula flycatcher hybrids and parental species in energetically expensive alimentary organs, and 2) if such differential gene expression was, based on Gene Ontology (GO) terms, functionally related to Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and energy production. We found substantial differential gene expression in all pairwise contrasts, but fewer functional differences between the parental species than between hybrids and either parental species. Some of the differentially expressed genes underlay the OXPHOS pathway, and significantly more than expected GO terms associated with metabolic function were differentially expressed between hybrids and either parental species in the liver. Our results corroborate the idea that tightly co-evolved mitochondrial and nuclear genes underlying the Oxidative Phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway can become miss-matched in hybrids and cause malfunctioning phenotypes. Mitonuclear interactions affecting OXPHOS have the potential to both quickly diverge in allopatry as populations adapt to different climate regimes and to cause hybrid genetic dysfunction at secondary contact
