Evolution of blind beetles in isolated aquifers: a test of alternative modes of speciation.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Evidence is growing that not only allopatric but also sympatric speciation can be important in the evolution of species. Sympatric speciation has most convincingly been demonstrated in laboratory experiments with bacteria, but field-based evidence is ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Teleost fishes of the Coregonidae are good model systems for studying postglacial evolution, adaptive radiation and ecological speciation. Of particular interest is whether the repeated occurrence of sympatric species pairs results from in ...

Hybridization, Homogamy, and Sympatric Speciation [PDF]
Evolution, 1955 Mayr (1947) has presented a strong case against the hypothesis of sympatric speciation in the course of supporting the universal hypothesis of geographic (or at least microgeographic) speciation. In the summary (p. 286) of that paper he made the following statement: "It is unproven and unlikely that reproductive isolation can develop between contiguous

Description of six new species of the subgenus Panophrys within the genus Megophrys (Anura, Megophryidae) from southeastern China based on molecular and morphological data [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 The diversity of the subgenus Panophrys within the genus Megophrys has been revealed to be extremely underestimated from southeastern China. Herpetological surveys coupled with extensive sampling in a longitudinal mountain belt located in southeastern ...

Sympatric Speciation: Why the Controversy? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Two recent studies provide convincing evidence that speciation without geographic isolation--sympatric speciation--has occurred within isolated island habitats, but we remain ignorant of how frequent the process really is.

Ability of Current Phylogenetic Clustering to Detect Speciation History
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Phylogenetic diversity aims to quantify the evolutionary relatedness among the species comprising a community, using the phylogenetic tree as the metric of the evolutionary relationships.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Speciation often occurs in complex or uncertain temporal and spatial contexts. Processes such as reinforcement, allopatric divergence, and assortative mating can proceed at different rates and with different strengths as populations diverge ...

Visual mate preference evolution during butterfly speciation is linked to neural processing genes
Nature Communications, 2020 The genetic mechanisms underlying mate choice decisions can inform our understanding of speciation. A study on Heliconius butterflies identifies 5 candidate genes that would allow sympatric species to evolve distinct preferences without altering their ...

Sympatric speciation under incompatibility selection [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 The existing theory of sympatric speciation assumes that a local population splits into two species under one-dimensional disruptive selection, which favors both of the opposite extreme values of a quantitative trait. Here we model sympatric speciation under selection that favors high values of either of the two independently inherited traits, each ...
