The metaphor of 'genomic islands of speciation'was first used to describe heterogeneous
differentiation among loci between the genomes of closely related species. The biological …

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 …

Profound knowledge of demographic history is a prerequisite for the understanding and
inference of processes involved in the evolution of population differentiation and speciation …

Patterns of interspecific introgression may vary geographically, and the distribution of
introgressed variants can yield insight into the historical dynamics of genetic interactions …

A knowledge of intraspecific divergence and range dynamics of dominant forest trees in
response to past geological and climate change is of major importance to an understanding …

Inferring the history of isolation and gene flow during species differentiation can inform us on
the processes underlying their formation. Following their recent expansion in Europe, two …

Pinus densata is an ecologically successful homoploid hybrid that inhabits vast areas of
heterogeneous terrain on the south‐eastern Tibetan Plateau as a result of multiple waves of …

The banded newt (genus Ommatotriton) is widely distributed in the Near East (Anatolia,
Caucasus and the Levant)–an understudied region from the perspective of phylogeography …

Speciation remains a fundamental issue in biology. Herein, we report an investigation into
speciation in the Rana chensinensis species complex using DNA sequence data from one …

How often do the early stages of speciation occur in the presence of gene flow? To address
this enduring question, a number of recent papers have used computational approaches …
