Ecological Separation in an Ongoing Speciation Event

نویسندگان

چکیده

There are many factors that contribute to speciation events. Pollination is often seen as the biggest driver of particularly when pollinators discriminate against certain traits. This discrimination driven by a variety plant morphological traits, possibly leading specific have strong preference. However, phenological characteristics can serve an important role in separating species. For instance, if two plants differ flowering time then there will be reproductive isolation between them, which leads potential speciation. These biotic and phenotypic influences act together rapidly diversify lineages. Studying these differences pollinator preference for predicting gene flow how events may start occur. We tested patterns completing series experiments using subspecies rabbitbrush; germination trials, multiple observational field chemical analysis. study provide understanding ongoing diversification rabbitbrush. Thereby, contributing more general deeper ecological roles, plant, evolution. It also answer questions about what makes species or subspecies. The focus this paper on characters.

Advances in Ecological Speciation: an integrative approach.

The role of natural selection in promoting reproductive isolation has received substantial renewed interest within the last two decades. As a consequence, the study of ecological speciation has become an extremely productive research area in modern evolutionary biology. Recent innovations in sequencing technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity to study the mechanisms involved in ecologica...

Ongoing ecological speciation in Cotesia sesamiae, a biological control agent of cereal stem borers

To develop efficient and safe biological control, we need to reliably identify natural enemy species, determine their host range, and understand the mechanisms that drive host range evolution. We investigated these points in Cotesia sesamiae, an African parasitic wasp of cereal stem borers. Phylogenetic analyses of 74 individual wasps, based on six mitochondrial and nuclear genes, revealed thre...

Ecological speciation in Gambusia fishes.

Although theory indicates that natural selection can facilitate speciation as a by-product, demonstrating ongoing speciation via this by-product mechanism in nature has proven difficult. We examined morphological, molecular, and behavioral data to investigate ecology's role in incipient speciation for a post-Pleistocene radiation of Bahamas mosquitofish (Gambusia hubbsi) inhabiting blue holes. ...

Ongoing ecological divergence in an emerging genomic model.

Much of Earth's biodiversity has arisen through adaptive radiation. Important avenues of phenotypic divergence during this process include the evolution of body size and life history (Schluter 2000). Extensive adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes have occurred in the Great Lakes of Africa, giving rise to behaviours that are remarkably sophisticated and diverse across species. In Tanganyikan sh...

Genetics and ecological speciation.

Species originate frequently by natural selection. A general mechanism by which this occurs is ecological speciation, defined as the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations as a result of ecologically-based divergent natural selection. The alternative mechanism is mutation-order speciation in which populations fix different mutations as they adapt to similar selection pressures....
