Phylogenetic species recognition and species concepts in fungi. Fungal Genetics and
Biology 31, 000–000. The operational species concept, ie, the one used to recognize …

The unit of adaptation is usually thought to be a gene or set of interacting genes, rather than
the whole genome, and this may be true of species differentiation. Defining species on the …

Beim Studium der jüngeren Kontroversen über den Darwinismus fiel mir wiederholt auf, das
sie falsche Darstellungen enthielten, so als würde es sich um irgendetwas Umfassenderes …

Many genes that mediate sexual reproduction, such as those involved in gamete
recognition, diverge rapidly, often as a result of adaptive evolution. This widespread …

The female reproductive tract is where competition between the sperm of different males
takes place, aided and abetted by the female herself. Intense postcopulatory sexual …

The tools of molecular genetics have enormous potential for clarifying the nature and age of
species boundaries in marine organisms. Below I summarize the genetic implications of …

Fertilization calcium waves are introduced, and the evidence from which we can infer
general mechanisms of these waves is presented. The two main classes of hypotheses put …

Background Analyses of speciation genes–genes that contribute to the cessation of gene
flow between populations–can offer clues regarding the ecological settings, evolutionary …

One of the oldest problems in evolutionary biology remains largely unsolved. Which
mutations generate evolutionarily relevant phenotypic variation? What kinds of molecular …

A surprisingly large fraction of the eukaryotic genome is repetitive. More than one third of the
human genome consists of interspersed repetitive DNA, and tandemly repeated DNA …
