Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro-and macroevolution
Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

Coupling of barriers to gene exchange: causes and consequences
Coupling has emerged as a concept to describe the transition from differentiated
populations to newly evolved species through the strengthening of reproductive isolation …

The strength of reproductive isolating barriers in seed plants: Insights from studies quantifying premating and postmating reproductive barriers over the past 15 years
K Christie, LS Fraser, DB Lowry - Evolution, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Speciation is driven by the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers that reduce, and
ultimately prevent, substantial gene flow between lineages. Despite its central role in …

The ecology of hybrid incompatibilities
KA Thompson, Y Brandvain… - Cold Spring …, 2023 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Ecologically mediated selection against hybrids, caused by hybrid phenotypes fitting poorly
into available niches, is typically viewed as distinct from selection caused by epistatic …

Niche theory as an underutilized resource for the study of adaptive radiations
RM Germain, B Matthews… - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2024 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Biologists are often stuck between two opposing questions: Why are there so many species
and why are there not more? Although these questions apply to the maintenance of existing …

The ecological importance of hybridization
D Porretta, D Canestrelli - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 - cell.com
Hybridization as an evolutionary process has been studied in depth over the past few

Hybridization and the coexistence of species
D Irwin, D Schluter - The American Naturalist, 2022 - journals.uchicago.edu
It is thought that two species can coexist if they use different resources present in the
environment, yet this assumes that species are completely reproductively isolated. We …
