Sex chromosomes in meiotic, hemiclonal, clonal and polyploid hybrid vertebrates: along the 'extended speciation continuum'
We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and
speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation …

Three problems in the genetics of speciation by selection
D Schluter, LH Rieseberg - Proceedings of the National …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Speciation is the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations.
Although we now know that speciation is largely driven by natural selection, knowledge of …

Cycles of fusion and fission enabled rapid parallel adaptive radiations in African cichlids
Although some lineages of animals and plants have made impressive adaptive radiations
when provided with ecological opportunity, the propensities to radiate vary profoundly …

A continuous fish fossil record reveals key insights into adaptive radiation
Adaptive radiations have been instrumental in generating a considerable amount of life's
diversity. Ecological opportunity is thought to be a prerequisite for adaptive radiation, but …

Long reads are revolutionizing 20 years of insect genome sequencing
The first insect genome assembly (Drosophila melanogaster) was published two decades
ago. Today, nuclear genome assemblies are available for a staggering 601 insect species …

Prolonged morphological expansion of spiny-rayed fishes following the end-Cretaceous
Spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha) dominate modern marine habitats and account for
more than a quarter of all living vertebrate species. Previous time-calibrated phylogenies …

Genome-wide macroevolutionary signatures of key innovations in butterflies colonizing new host plants
The mega-diversity of herbivorous insects is attributed to their co-evolutionary associations
with plants. Despite abundant studies on insect-plant interactions, we do not know whether …
