Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically improves
the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust results than …

Speciation is a fundamental evolutionary process, the knowledge of which is crucial for
understanding the origins of biodiversity. Genomic approaches are an increasingly important …

The application of DNA barcoding to dietary studies allows prey taxa to be identified in the
absence of morphological evidence and permits a greater resolution of prey identity than is …

Recent essays on the species problem have emphasized the commonality that many
species concepts have with basic evolutionary theory. Although true, such consensus fails to …

The most common classification of modes of speciation begins with the spatial context in which
divergence occurs: sympatric, parapatric or allopatric. This classification is unsatisfactory …

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 obstacles to …

Speciation can be viewed as the evolution of restrictions on the freedom of genetic
recombination: new combinations of alleles can be generated within species, but alleles from …

The question of how far pollen can move between plants has implications for topics as diverse
as habitat fragmentation, conservation management, and the containment of genetically …

Understanding the processes underlying the origin of species is a fundamental goal of
biology. It is widely accepted that speciation requires an interruption of gene flow between …

Shoaling fish are expected, in many cases, to gain fitness benefits from being in a larger shoal
and previous experiments have shown that fish are indeed capable of choosing between …
