Geographic isolation facilitates the evolution of reproductive isolation and morphological divergence
Geographic isolation is known to contribute to divergent evolution, resulting in unique phenotypes. Oftentimes morphologically distinct populations are found to be interfertile while reproductive isolation is found to exist within nominal morphological species revealing the existence of cryptic species. These disparities can be difficult to predict or explain especially when they do not reflect...
متن کاملEcological divergence promotes the evolution of cryptic reproductive isolation.
Speciation can involve the evolution of 'cryptic' reproductive isolation that occurs after copulation but before hybrid offspring are produced. Because such cryptic barriers to gene exchange involve post-mating sexual interactions, analyses of their evolution have focused on sexual conflict or traditional sexual selection. Here, we show that ecological divergence between populations of herbivor...
متن کاملGenetic Divergence, Reproductive Isolation, and Marine Speciation
In marine species, high dispersal is often associated with only mild genetic differentiation over large spatial scales. Despite this generalization, there are numerous reasons for the accumulation of genetic differences between large, semi-isolated marine populations. A suite of well-known evolutionary mechanisms can operate within and between populations to result in genetic divergence, and th...
متن کاملThe genomic bases of morphological divergence and reproductive isolation driven by ecological speciation in Senecio (Asteraceae).
Ecological speciation, driven by adaptation to contrasting environments, provides an attractive opportunity to study the formation of distinct species, and the role of selection and genomic divergence in this process. Here, we focus on a particularly clear-cut case of ecological speciation to reveal the genomic bases of reproductive isolation and morphological differences between closely relate...

Testing this hypothesis typically focuses on maleefemale mating interactions and divergence in female mate preferences betwe...
