Sequential divergence and the multiplicative origin of community diversity
Phenotypic and genetic variation in one species can influence the composition of interacting
organisms within communities and across ecosystems. As a result, the divergence of one …

Characterizing long-range search behavior in Diptera using complex 3D virtual environments
The exemplary search capabilities of flying insects have established them as one of the most
diverse taxa on Earth. However, we still lack the fundamental ability to quantify, represent …

Ecological adaptation and reproductive isolation in sympatry: genetic and phenotypic evidence for native host races of Rhagoletis pomonella
Ecological speciation with gene flow may be an important mode of diversification for
phytophagous insects. The recent shift of R hagoletis pomonella from its native host downy …

Genomic differentiation during speciation-with-gene-flow: comparing geographic and host-related variation in divergent life history adaptation in Rhagoletis pomonella
MM Doellman, GJ Ragland, GR Hood, PJ Meyers… - Genes, 2018 - mdpi.com
A major goal of evolutionary biology is to understand how variation within populations gets
partitioned into differences between reproductively isolated species. Here, we examine the …

Molecular heterogeneity in major urinary proteins of Mus musculus subspecies: potential candidates involved in speciation
When hybridisation carries a cost, natural selection is predicted to favour evolution of traits
that allow assortative mating (reinforcement). Incipient speciation between the two European …

Rapid and repeatable host plant shifts drive reproductive isolation following a recent human-mediated introduction of the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella
Ecological speciation via host-shifting is often invoked as a mechanism for insect
diversification, but the relative importance of this process is poorly understood. The shift of …
