In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Coupling has emerged as a concept to describe the transition from differentiated
populations to newly evolved species through the strengthening of reproductive isolation …

Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

Two major developments have made it possible to use examples of ecological radiations as
model systems to understand evolution and ecology. First, the integration of quantitative …

Understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits is a major objective in biology. The
standard approach for doing so is genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which aim to …

The independent and repeated adaptation of populations to similar environments often
results in the evolution of similar forms. This phenomenon creates a strong correlation …

Parallel evolution of ecotypes occurs when selection independently drives the evolution of
similar traits across similar environments. The multiple origins of ecotypes are often inferred …

In contrast to ecological speciation, where reproductive isolation evolves as a consequence
of divergent natural selection, speciation by parallel natural selection has been less …
