Cryptic species as a window into the paradigm shift of the species concept
C Fišer, CT Robinson, F Malard - Molecular Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The species concept is the cornerstone of biodiversity science, and any paradigm shift in the
delimitation of species affects many research fields. Many biologists now are embracing a …

Defining the speciation continuum
S Stankowski, M Ravinet - Evolution, 2021 - academic.oup.com
A primary roadblock to our understanding of speciation is that it usually occurs over a
timeframe that is too long to study from start to finish. The idea of a speciation continuum …

Rapid hybrid speciation in Darwin's finches
Homoploid hybrid speciation in animals has been inferred frequently from patterns of
variation, but few examples have withstood critical scrutiny. Here we report a directly …

Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers
About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered
population of∼ 50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is …

Parallel evolution of local adaptation and reproductive isolation in the face of gene flow
Parallel evolution of similar phenotypes provides strong evidence for the operation of natural
selection. Where these phenotypes contribute to reproductive isolation, they further support …

Sexual selection accelerates signal evolution during speciation in birds
Sexual selection is proposed to be an important driver of diversification in animal systems,
yet previous tests of this hypothesis have produced mixed results and the mechanisms …
