On the role of male competition in speciation: a review and research agenda
Support for the role of sexual selection in speciation has grown over the last 30 years. Work
in this area, however, has largely focused on a single dominant question: when and how do …

Minor allele frequency thresholds strongly affect population structure inference with genomic data sets
E Linck, CJ Battey - Molecular Ecology Resources, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
A common method of minimizing errors in large DNA sequence data sets is to drop variable
sites with a minor allele frequency (MAF) below some specified threshold. Although …

Assessing biological factors affecting postspeciation introgression
An increasing number of phylogenomic studies have documented a clear “footprint” of
postspeciation introgression among closely related species. Nonetheless, systematic …

Fine scale mapping of genomic introgressions within the Drosophila yakuba clade
DA Turissini, DR Matute - PLoS genetics, 2017 - journals.plos.org
The process of speciation involves populations diverging over time until they are genetically
and reproductively isolated. Hybridization between nascent species was long thought to …

The dynamics of introgression across an avian radiation
Hybridization and resulting introgression can play both a destructive and a creative role in
the evolution of diversity. Thus, characterizing when and where introgression is most likely to …

Notes from the taxonomic disaster zone: Evolutionary drivers of intractable species boundaries in an Australian lizard clade (Scincidae: Ctenotus)
Genomic‐scale datasets, sophisticated analytical techniques, and conceptual advances
have disproportionately failed to resolve species boundaries in some groups relative to …

The role of mate competition in speciation and divergence: a systematic review
Competition for mates can play a critical role in determining reproductive success, shaping
phenotypic variation within populations, and influencing divergence. Yet, studies of the role …

Shallow genetic divergence and distinct phenotypic differences between two Andean hummingbirds: Speciation with gene flow?
Ecological speciation can proceed despite genetic interchange when selection counteracts
