In Box 4 of their Review 1, Noor and Feder listed ten examples of genes involved in forming a reproductive barrier that could lead to speciation events. The authors wrote: “...we could be surprised in ...

Reinforcement, the increase of assortative mating driven by selection against unfit hybrids, is conditional on pre-existing divergence. Yet, for ecological divergence to precede the evolution of ...

LOGAN, UTAH, USA - At what point on the journey along the branches of the evolutionary tree does a population become its own, unique species? And is a species still distinct, if it mates with a ...

Speciation is important because it increases biodiversity. A thesis from the University of Gothenburg examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same ...

A new approach to genomic species delineation could impact policy and lend clarity to legislation for designating a species as endangered or at risk. Evolutionary biologists model the process of ...

What is ecological speciation? -- Predictions and tests of ecological speciation -- A source of divergent selection -- A form of reproductive isolation -- A genetic mechanism to link selection to ...

Matías Gómez-Corrales, a recent biological sciences Ph.D. graduate from the University of Rhode Island, and his advisor, Associate Professor Carlos Prada, have published a paper in Nature ...
