Coupling of twelve putative chromosomal inversions maintains a strong barrier to gene flow between snail ecotypes
Chromosomal rearrangements can lead to the coupling of reproductive barriers, but whether
and how they contribute to the completion of speciation remains unclear. Marine snails of …

Keeping the door ajar: when is a little gene flow a good thing?
R Butlin - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Speciation is not an event but a process, and one that may take a very long time. It can be
helpful to think about a “speciation continuum,” either in one dimension (reproductive …
