Proteins on gamete surfaces are major determinants of fertilization success, particularly in
free-spawning animals. Molecular analyses of these simple genetic systems show rapid …

Sympatric speciation is among the most controversial and challenging concepts in evolution.
There are a multitude of definitions of speciation alone, and when combined with the …

Coral mortality has increased in recent decades, making coral recruitment more important
than ever in sustaining coral reef ecosystems and contributing to their resilience. This review …

Extreme hydro‐meteorological events such as droughts are becoming more frequent,
intense, and persistent. This is particularly true in the south central USA, where rapidly …

We model the evolution of flowering time using a multilocus quantitative genetic model with
non-selective assortative mating and mutation to investigate incipient allochronic speciation …

Disruptive selection of life-cycle timing may cause temporal isolation directly and, ultimately,
allochronic speciation. Despite the fact that segregation of the reproductive period among …

Adaptive ecological differentiation among sympatric populations is promoted by
environmental heterogeneity, strong local selection and restricted gene flow. High gene …

Several empirical studies report fast evolutionary changes in flowering time in response to
contemporary climate change. Flowering time is a polygenic trait under assortative mating …

物种形成研究是人们关于新物种如何产生和维持的思考和探索, 是进化生物学最重要的组成部分
之一. 对物种形成方式, 生殖隔离产生过程及其内在遗传机制的探究和揭示 …

Quantifying effects of individual attributes and population demographic characteristics that
affect inter‐and intrasexual interactions and adult reproductive success, and the spatial and …
