As is true of virtually every realm of the biological sciences, our understanding of speciation
is increasingly informed by the genomic revolution of the past decade. Investigators can ask …

Speciation is the result of evolutionary processes that generate barriers to gene flow
between populations, facilitating reproductive isolation. Speciation is typically studied via …

Across a species range, multiple sources of environmental heterogeneity, at both small and
large scales, create complex landscapes of selection, which may challenge adaptation …

We continued with the Research Topic “Interspecific Hybridization in Plant Biology, Volume
II” to discuss its fundamental and applied consequences. While the topic was open to salient …

Hybridization increases genetic variation, hence hybrid species may have greater
evolutionary potential once their admixed genomes have stabilized and incompatibilities …

Gene flow, demography, and selection can result in similar patterns of genomic variation
and disentangling their effects is key to understanding speciation. Here, we assess …

The independent and repeated adaptation of populations to similar environments often
results in the evolution of similar forms. This phenomenon creates a strong correlation …

In the post-genomics era, non-model species like most Fagaceae still lack operational
diversity resources for population genomics studies. Sequence data were produced from …

The impact of genome structure on adaptation is a growing focus in evolutionary biology,
revealing an important role for structural variation and recombination landscapes in shaping …

If there is one certainty about speciation, it is that those who research the process are able to
disagree about almost anything. Arguments have raged over how to define species, over the …
