Speciation and gene flow between snails of opposite chirality.
PLoS Biology, 2005 Left-right asymmetry in snails is intriguing because individuals of opposite chirality are either unable to mate or can only mate with difficulty, so could be reproductively isolated from each other. We have therefore investigated chiral evolution in the

Experimental evidence of genome-wide impact of ecological selection during early stages of speciation-with-gene-flow. [PDF]
Ecol Lett, 2015 Theory predicts that speciation-with-gene-flow is more likely when the consequences of selection for population divergence transitions from mainly direct effects of selection acting on individual genes to a collective property of all selected genes in ...

Genetic Incompatibilities Between Mitochondria and Nuclear Genes: Effect on Gene Flow and Speciation [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The process of speciation is, according to the biological species concept, the reduction in gene flow between genetically diverging populations. Most of the previous theoretical studies analyzed the effect of nuclear genetic incompatibilities on gene ...

Speciation with gene flow between two Neotropical sympatric species (Pitcairnia spp.: Bromeliaceae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The study of mechanisms that generate new species is considered fundamental for broad areas of ecology and evolution. Speciation is a continuous process in which reproductive isolation is established, and it is of fundamental importance to understand the

Speciation with gene flow: Evidence from a complex of alpine butterflies (Coenonympha, Satyridae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Until complete reproductive isolation is achieved, the extent of differentiation between two diverging lineages is the result of a dynamic equilibrium between genetic isolation and mixing.

Parapatric speciation with recurrent gene flow of two sexual dichromatic pheasants
Avian Research, 2022 Understanding speciation has long been a fundamental goal of evolutionary biology. It is widely accepted that speciation requires an interruption of gene flow to generate strong reproductive isolation between species.

Avian Research, 2021 Background Understanding how species diversify is a long-standing question in biology. The allopatric speciation model is a classic hypothesis to explain the speciation process. This model supposes that there is no gene flow during the divergence process

Incipient speciation between host-plant strains in the fall armyworm
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background Recent advancement in speciation biology proposes that genetic differentiation across the whole genome (genomic differentiation, GD) may occur at the beginning of a speciation process and that GD itself may accelerate the rate of speciation ...

Genomic signatures of host-associated divergence and adaptation in a coral-eating snail, Coralliophila violacea (Kiener, 1836). [PDF]
, 2020 The fluid nature of the ocean, combined with planktonic dispersal of marine larvae, lowers physical barriers to gene flow. However, divergence can still occur despite gene flow if strong selection acts on populations occupying different ecological niches.
