How do new species form? Like most areas of Evolutionary Biology, research related to the formation of new species - 'speciation ' - is rich in historical and current debate. Here, we review both ...

I expect you to read: Avise, J.C. 2004. Chapter 7: Speciation and hybridization. In Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution (2nd edn.). Chapman and Hall, New York. Having at least briefly ...

What is unknown is whether such local ‘adaptations' are correlated with genetic differentiation, which is a necessary precursor to speciation. Future studies that incorporate ecological ...

The biological equivalent is "allopatric speciation," an evolutionary process in which one species divides into two because the original homogenous population has become separated and both groups ...

This book clarifies how adaptive processes, rather than geographic isolation, can cause speciation. Adaptive speciation occurs when biological interactions induce disruptive selection and the ...

Indeed, the Galapagos have been called a living laboratory where speciation can be seen at work. A few million years ago, one species of finch migrated to the rocky Galapagos from the mainland of ...

As long as the individuals in a population have the opportunity to interbreed and combine genes, they remain one species. A population of one species can only evolve into more than one species if ...

The distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO) type is still the most common, but don’t forget that onychomycosis and nail ...

Hybridization, speciation, evolutionary ecology, and population genomics (primarily of birds). My research applies genomics and field experiments to natural hybrid zones and closely related taxa in ...

In project SpecIAnt we study speciation and hybridization using wood ants as a model system. We focus on the recently diverged Formica rufa group wood ants, many of which occur in Southern Finland ...
