Peculiarities of microevolution processes in Trollius asiaticus in South Siberia Mountains

open access: yesBIO 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

An oligogenic architecture underlying ecological and reproductive divergence in sympatric populations

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

Phase transition in a mean-field model for sympatric speciation

open access: yes, 2005
We introduce an analytical model for population dynamics with intra-specific competition, mutation and assortative mating as basic ingredients. The set of equations that describes the time evolution of population size in a mean-field approximation may be

Reticulate sympatric speciation in Cameroonian crater lake cichlids

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Population genomic analyses support sympatric origins of parapatric morphs in a salamander

open access: yesEcology 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.

Experimental hybridization and reproductive isolation between two sympatric species of tephritid fruit flies in the Anastrepha fraterculus species group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Among tephritid fruit flies, hybridzation has been found to produce local adaptationand speciation, and in the case of pest species, induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest management. The fraterculus species

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

Chemical and population genetic analysis show no evidence of ecotype formation in a European population of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Introgressive Hybridization and the Evolution of Lake-Adapted Catostomid Fishes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hybridization has been identified as a significant factor in the evolution of plants as groups of interbreeding species retain their phenotypic integrity despite gene exchange among forms.

Speciation with gene flow

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.
