The Role of Interspecific Hybridisation in Adaptation and Speciation: Insights From Studies in Senecio

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Hybridisation is well documented in many species, especially plants. Although hybrid populations might be short-lived and do not evolve into new lineages, hybridisaiton could lead to evolutionary novelty, promoting adaptation and speciation.

Transcriptomic Profiles of Long Noncoding RNAs and Their Target Protein-Coding Genes Reveals Speciation Adaptation on the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau in Orinus [PDF]

Biology
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules longer than 200 nt, which lack the ability to encode proteins and are involved in multifarious growth, development, and regulatory processes in plants and mammals.

Speciation across depth gradients in reef corals [PDF]

Nature Communications
Ecological speciation through adaptation to different habitats can readily occur without strong geographic isolation when the same traits underlie both ecological divergence and reproductive isolation.

Seven Questions on the Chemical Ecology and Neurogenetics of Resource-Mediated Speciation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Adaptation to different environments can result in reproductive isolation between populations and the formation of new species. Food resources are among the most important environmental factors shaping local adaptation.

Incipient Sympatric Speciation and Evolution of Soil Bacteria Revealed by Metagenomic and Structured Non-Coding RNAs Analysis

Biology, 2022
Soil bacteria respond rapidly to changes in new environmental conditions. For adaptation to the new environment, they could mutate their genome, which impacts the alternation of the functional and regulatory landscape.

Does speciation between Arabidopsis halleri and Arabidopsis lyrata coincide with major changes in a molecular target of adaptation? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Ever since Darwin proposed natural selection as the driving force for the origin of species, the role of adaptive processes in speciation has remained controversial.

Climate Adaptation and Drift Shape the Genomes of Two Eel-Goby Sister Species Endemic to Contrasting Latitude

Animals, 2023
Deciphering the role of climate adaptation in generating genetic divergence and hence speciation is a central question in evolution. Comparisons of genomes of closely related species spanning selective climate gradients are particularly informative in ...

Genetic tests for ecological and allopatric speciation in anoles on an island archipelago. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2010
From Darwin's study of the Galapagos and Wallace's study of Indonesia, islands have played an important role in evolutionary investigations, and radiations within archipelagos are readily interpreted as supporting the conventional view of allopatric ...

Megabase-scale presence-absence variation with Tripsacum origin was under selection during maize domestication and adaptation

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Structural variants (SVs) significantly drive genome diversity and environmental adaptation for diverse species. Unlike the prevalent small SVs (< kilobase-scale) in higher eukaryotes, large-size SVs rarely exist in the genome, but they ...
