Within-Host Speciation of Malaria Parasites

BACKGROUND Sympatric speciation-the divergence of populations into new species in absence of geographic barriers to hybridization-is the most debated mode of diversification of life forms. Parasitic organisms are prominent models for sympatric speciation, because they may colonise new hosts within the same geographic area and diverge through host specialization. However, it has been argued that...

Sympatric speciation through intraspecific social parasitism.

Sympatric speciation through intraspecific social parasitism has been proposed for the evolution of Hymenopteran workerless parasites. Such inquilines exploit related host taxa to produce their own sexual offspring. The relatedness of inquilines to their hosts has been generalized in Emery's rule, suggesting that social parasites are close or the closest relatives to their host species. If the ...

Within-host competition and diversification of macro-parasites.

Although competitive speciation is more and more regarded as a plausible mechanism for sympatric speciation of non-parasite species, virtually no empirical or theoretical study has considered this evolutionary process to explain intra-host diversification of parasites. We expanded the theory of competitive speciation to parasite species looking at the effect of macro-parasite life history on th...

Sympatric speciation in animals: new wine in old bottles.

Recent research on natural host races and sympatric sister species, comparative phylogenetic analyses, laboratory experiments and theoretical models has greatly strengthened the case for sympatric speciation. Traits evolving in response to divergent selection experienced by subpopulations adapting to different habitats provide sufficient intrinsic premating isolation for sympatric speciation to...

Sympatric speciation

What is sympatric speciation? The likelihood of sympatric speciation is perhaps the most controversial aspect of speciation, and certainly one of the most contested questions in evolutionary biology. Speciation in general is defined as the evolution of strong, genetically based ‘isolating barriers’ between populations that prevent them from exchanging genes, for example, mate discrimination, ha...

Evolution: Sympatric Speciation the Eusocial Way

Sympatric speciation normally requires particular conditions of ecological niche differentiation. However, ant social parasites have been suspected to arise sympatrically, because (dis)loyalty to eusocial kin-structures induces disruptive selection for dispersal and inbreeding. A new study documents this process in unprecedented detail.
