Speciation is a fundamental evolutionary process, the knowledge of which is crucial for
understanding the origins of biodiversity. Genomic approaches are an increasingly …

Levels of genetic differentiation between populations can be highly variable across the
genome, with divergent selection contributing to such heterogeneous genomic divergence …

Species can be defined as populations that are diagnosably distinct, reproductively isolated,
cohesive, or exclusive groups of organisms. Boundaries between species in sympatry are …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Genomic and genetic methods allow investigation of how frequently the same genes are
used by different populations during adaptive evolution, yielding insights into the …

The large body of theory on speciation with gene flow has brought to light fundamental
differences in the effects of two types of mating rules on speciation: preference/trait rules, in …

Patterns of genetic diversity between populations are often used to detect loci under
selection in genome scans. Indeed, loci involved in local adaptations should show high F ST …

Hosts and their symbionts are involved in intimate physiological and ecological interactions.
The impact of these interactions on the evolution of each partner depends on the time‐scale …

Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

Abstract Since Darwin published the “Origin,” great progress has been made in our
understanding of speciation mechanisms. The early investigations by Mayr and Dobzhansky …
