Stridulations reveal cryptic speciation in neotropical sympatric ants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The taxonomic challenge posed by cryptic species underlines the importance of using multiple criteria in species delimitation. In the current paper we tested the use of acoustic analysis as a tool to assess the real diversity in a cryptic species complex

Evidence of sympatric speciation of elderberry carlaviruses [PDF]
Virus Research, 2016 Five new carlaviruses infecting elderberry were characterized and tentatively named as elderberry virus A-E (ElVA-ElVE). Their genome organization is similar to that of other carlaviruses with size ranging from 8540 to 8628 nucleotides, excluding the polyadenylated tails.

Peculiarities of microevolution processes in Trollius asiaticus in South Siberia Mountains
BIO Web of Conferences, 2020 In the paper, we analyse the distribution of species and forms closely-related to Trollius asiaticus L. growing in the mountains of South Siberia between the Altai Mountain Country and Baikalia. The interrelationship between the endemic species and forms

Population genomic analyses support sympatric origins of parapatric morphs in a salamander
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In numerous clades, divergent sister species have largely non‐overlapping geographic ranges. This pattern presumably arises because species diverged in allopatry or parapatry, prior to a subsequent contact.

eLife, 2023 The evolutionary trajectories and genetic architectures underlying ecological divergence with gene flow are poorly understood. Sympatric timing types of the intertidal insect Clunio marinus (Diptera) from Roscoff (France) differ in lunar reproductive ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

Reticulate sympatric speciation in Cameroonian crater lake cichlids
Frontiers in Zoology, 2004 Background Traditionally the rapid origin of megadiverse species flocks of extremely closely related species is explained by the combinatory action of three factors: Disruptive natural selection, disruptive sexual selection and partial isolation by ...

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Ecotypes, subpopulations or strains of a single species locally adapted to divergent ecological conditions within the same habitat are often considered to be the first steps in sympatric speciation.

Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.
