A putative case of honeyeater‐driven sympatric speciation associated with corolla shape shift resulting in a new New Caledonian Oxera species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1299-1311, November 2025.
Investigating the morphology and ecology of two sympatric species of the Oxera (Lamiaceae) genus in New Caledonia and their respective putative pollinators showed that two species of honeyeaters are likely the preferred pollinators because of their respective sizes, bill and tongue lengths, and behavior.

Gone With the Wind: Exploring a Vanished Rock Dove, Columba livia, Hybrid Zone in the Sahara Desert

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
In this study, we tested the hypothesis of the existence of a hybrid zone between two differentiated rock dove lineages, which may contribute significantly to their divergence. By analyzing newly generated genomic data from previously unsampled African rock dove populations, along with publicly available rock dove genomes, we provide evidence for the ...
