Speciation events often occur in rapid bursts of diversification, but the ecological and genetic
factors that promote these radiations are still much debated. Using whole transcriptomes …

Asymmetric postmating isolation, where reciprocal interspecific crosses produce different
levels of fertilization success or hybrid sterility/inviability, is very common. Darwin emphasized …

Patterns of reproductive isolation between species may provide insight into the mechanisms
and evolution of barriers to interspecific gene exchange. We used data from published …

Understanding the role of geography and ecology in species divergence is central to the
study of evolutionary diversification. We used climatic, geographic, and biological data from …

Among the reproductive barriers that can isolate species, hybrid sterility is frequently due to
dysfunctional interactions between loci that accumulate between differentiating lineages. …

Analyses among animal species have found that reproductive isolation increases monotonically
with genetic distance, evolves more quickly for prezygotic than postzygotic traits, and is …

Genome scans have become a common approach to identify genomic signatures of natural
selection and reproductive isolation, as well as the genomic bases of ecologically relevant …

Over 100 years of studies in Drosophila melanogaster and related species in the genus
Drosophila have facilitated key discoveries in genetics, genomics, and evolution. While high-…

Using the results of a survey of recovery plans for threatened and endangered species, we
evaluated the role that Population Viability Analysis (PVA) has played in recovery planning …

The tomato clade within the genus Solanum has numerous advantages for mechanistic studies
of reproductive isolation. Its thirteen closely related species, along with four closely allied …
