Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a particular entity of head neck cancer that is generally
regarded as a genetic disease with diverse intertumor and intratumor heterogeneity. This …

How common is speciation‐with‐gene‐flow? How much does gene flow impact on
speciation? To answer questions like these requires understanding of the common …

Assortative mating occurs when there is a correlation (positive or negative) between male
and female phenotypes or genotypes across mated pairs. To determine the typical strength …

Müllerian mimicry among Neotropical Heliconiini butterflies is an excellent example of
natural selection, associated with the diversification of a large continental-scale radiation …

Homoploid hybrid speciation is thought to require unusual circumstances to yield
reproductive isolation from the parental species, and few examples are known from nature …

We use an individual‐based numerical simulation to study the effects of phenotypic plasticity
on ecological speciation. We find that adaptive plasticity evolves readily in the presence of …

Understanding the mechanisms of rapid adaptive radiation has been a central problem of
evolutionary ecology. Recently, there is a growing recognition that hybridization between …

Theory building is an integral part of biological research, in general, and of speciation
research, in particular. Here, I review the modeling work on speciation done in the last 10 …

The role of interspecific hybridization in evolution is still being debated. Interspecific
hybridization has been suggested to facilitate the evolution of ecological novelty, and hence …

Despite its role in homogenizing populations, hybridization has also been proposed as a
means to generate new species. The conceptual basis for this idea is that hybridization can …
