Stable isotopes disentangle niche partitioning and co‐occurrence in a multi‐species marine mutualism
Ecologists have long sought general explanations for the co‐occurrence of ecologically
similar taxa. Niche theory explains co‐occurrence via functional differences among taxa that …

Contrasting patterns of genetic and phenotypic divergence of two sympatric congeners, Phragmites australis and P. hirsuta, in heterogeneous habitats
T Qiu, Z Liu, H Li, J Yang, B Liu, Y Yang - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Habitat heterogeneity leads to genome-wide differentiation and morphological and
ecological differentiation, which will progress along the speciation continuum, eventually …

Novel insights into symbiont population structure: Globe‐trotting avian feather mites contradict the specialist–generalist variation hypothesis
Researchers often examine symbiont host specificity as a species‐level pattern, but it can
also be key to understanding processes occurring at the population level, which are not as …

Genomic signatures of sympatric speciation with historical and contemporary gene flow in a tropical anthozoan (Hexacorallia: Actiniaria)
Sympatric diversification is recognized to have played an important role in the evolution of
biodiversity. However, an in situ sympatric origin for codistributed taxa is difficult to …

Divergent mitochondrial lineages arose within a large, panmictic population of the Savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis)
PM Benham, ZA Cheviron - Molecular Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Unusual patterns of mtDNA diversity can reveal interesting aspects of a species' biology.
However, making such inferences requires discerning among the many alternative …

Global species delimitation and phylogeography of the circumtropical 'sexy shrimp' Thor amboinensis reveals a cryptic species complex and secondary contact in the …
Abstract Aim The “sexy shrimp” Thor amboinensis is currently considered a single
circumtropical species. However, the tropical oceans are partitioned by hard and soft …

Comparative behavioural observations demonstrate the 'cleaner' shrimp Periclimenes yucatanicus engages in true symbiotic cleaning interactions
Cleaner shrimps are ecologically important members of coral reef communities, but for many
species, cleaner status (ie dedicated, facultative and mimic), clientele and ecological role …

Comparative phylogeography of parasitic Laelaps mites contribute new insights into the specialist-generalist variation hypothesis (SGVH)
CA Matthee, A Engelbrecht, S Matthee - BMC evolutionary biology, 2018 - Springer
Background The specialist-generalist variation hypothesis (SGVH) in parasites suggests
that, due to patchiness in habitat (host availability), specialist species will show more …

Ecological characteristics explain neutral genetic variation of three coastal sparrow species
Eco‐phylogeographic approaches to comparative population genetic analyses allow for the
inclusion of intrinsic influences as drivers of intraspecific genetic structure. This insight into …

Host-mediated dispersal shapes spatial distribution of genetic variability in marine symbionts
Assessing the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that shape the spatial distribution
of genetic diversity of symbionts has been a topic of debate for decades. While host …
