Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may
slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate …

I outline how understanding the mechanism of behavioural plasticity is important for
predicting how organisms will respond to rapidly changing and novel environments. I define …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

Adaptive radiation is the evolution of diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage. It can
cause a single ancestral species to differentiate into an impressively vast array of species …

One hundred years after Darwin considered how sexual selection shapes the behavioral
and morphological characteristics of males for acquiring mates, Parker realized that sexual …

Estimates of the incidence of major classes of parental care by birds are drawn from
classical studies that preceded both the publication of a massive secondary literature and …

Charles Darwin's experiences in the Galápagos Islands in 1835 helped to guide his
thoughts toward a revolutionary theory: that species were not fixed but diversified from their …

The power of sexual selection to drive changes in mate recognition traits gives it the
potential to be a potent force in speciation. Much of the evidence to support this possibility …
