How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Surprisingly little attention has been given to the impact of selfing on speciation, even
though selfing reduces gene flow between populations and affects other key population …

Aim Although whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is an important speciation force, we still
lack a consensus on the role of niche differentiation in polyploid evolution. In addition, the …

Polyploidy is a pervasive phenomenon in nature and has significantly contributed to the
adaptive evolution of plants. The conditions necessary for the spread of neopolyploids in …

Hybrid seed inviability (HSI) is an important mechanism of reproductive isolation and
speciation. HSI varies in strength among populations of diploid species but it remains to be …

Premise of research. Polyploidy, a major evolutionary process in flowering plants, is
expected to impact floral traits, which can have cascading effects on pollination interactions …

Premise Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is ubiquitous in plants. Recent reviews and
meta‐analyses, aiming to understand how such phenotypic transition could facilitate …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a leading force of plant sympatric speciation. However,
the evolutionary mechanisms promoting the establishment of neopolyploid mutants in nature …

Uniparental reproduction, the capacity of an individual to produce offspring autonomously, is
expected to facilitate range expansion of populations. Paspalum spp. reproduce …

The present taxonomic status of Schenkia elegans, endemism recently described in the
Iberian Peninsula, and its relationship with the sympatric and the nearest morphological …
