Adaptive phenotypic diversification along a temperature-depth gradient.
Theoretical models suggest that sympatric speciation along environmental gradients might be common in nature. Here we present the first data-based model of evolutionary diversification along a continuous environmental gradient. On the basis of genetic analyses, it has been suggested that a pair of coregonid fishes (Coregonus spp.) in a postglacial German lake originated by sympatric speciation....
متن کاملSpeciation along a depth gradient in a marine adaptive radiation.
Oceans are home to much of the world's biodiversity, but we know little about the processes driving speciation in marine ecosystems with few geographical barriers to gene flow. Ecological speciation resulting from divergent natural selection between ecological niches can occur in the face of gene flow. Sister species in the young and ecologically diverse rockfish genus Sebastes coexist in the n...

متن کاملShared and unique patterns of phenotypic diversification along a stream gradient in two congeneric species
Stream ecosystems show gradual variation of various selection factors, which can result in a zonation of species distributions and gradient evolution of morphological and life-history traits within species. Identifying the selective agents underlying such phenotypic evolution is challenging as different species could show shared and/or unique (species-specific) responses to components of the ri...
متن کاملDiversification of Bacterial Community Composition along a Temperature Gradient at a Thermal Spring
To better understand the biogeography and relationship between temperature and community structure within microbial mats, the bacterial diversity of mats at a slightly alkaline, sulfide-containing hot spring was explored. Microbial mats that developed at temperatures between 75-52°C were collected from an area of approximately 1 m(2) in Nakabusa, Nagano, Japan. Bacterial 16S rRNA genes from the...
