Sympatric sister species are predicted to have greater divergence in reproductive traits than
allopatric sister species, especially if mating system shifts, such as the evolution of self‐…

Baker's law refers to the tendency for species that establish on islands by long‐distance
dispersal to show an increased capacity for self‐fertilization because of the advantage of self‐…

Species' geographic ranges vary enormously, and even closest relatives may differ in range
size by several orders of magnitude. With data from hundreds of species spanning 20 …

The genus Mimulus is a well-studied group of plant species, which has for decades allowed
researchers to address a wide array of fundamental questions in biology (Wu & al., 2008; …

Because establishing a new population often depends critically on finding mates, individuals
capable of uniparental reproduction may have a colonization advantage. Accordingly, there …

Closely related species (eg, sister taxa) often occupy very different ecological niches and
can exhibit large differences in geographic distributions despite their shared evolutionary …

High species richness and endemism in tropical mountains are recognized as major
contributors to the latitudinal diversity gradient. The processes underlying mountain speciation, …

The evolution of hummingbird pollination is common across angiosperms throughout the
Americas, presenting an opportunity to examine convergence in both traits and environments …

• Premise of study: When coflowering plant species share pollinators, pollinator‐mediated
competition may favor divergent floral characters associated with pollinator attraction. One …

Premise Phylogenomic datasets using genomes and transcriptomes provide rich opportunities
beyond resolving bifurcating phylogenetic relationships. Monkeyflower (Phrymaceae) is a …
