Inferring the geographic mode of speciation by contrasting autosomal and sex-linked genetic diversity.
When geographic isolation drives speciation, concurrent termination of gene flow among genomic regions will occur immediately after the formation of the barrier between diverging populations. Alternatively, if speciation is driven by ecologically divergent selection, gene flow of selectively neutral genomic regions may go on between diverging populations until the completion of reproductive iso...
متن کاملDemographic modelling with whole-genome data reveals parallel origin of similar Pundamilia cichlid species after hybridization.
Modes and mechanisms of speciation are best studied in young species pairs. In older taxa, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish what happened during speciation from what happened after speciation. Lake Victoria cichlids in the genus Pundamilia encompass a complex of young species and polymorphic populations. One Pundamilia species pair, P. pundamilia and P. nyererei, is particularly well...
متن کاملEcological speciation in sympatric palms: 1. Gene expression, selection and pleiotropy.
Ecological speciation requires divergent selection, reproductive isolation and a genetic mechanism to link the two. We examined the role of gene expression and coding sequence evolution in this process using two species of Howea palms that have diverged sympatrically on Lord Howe Island, Australia. These palms are associated with distinct soil types and have displaced flowering times, represent...
متن کاملReticulate Speciation and Barriers to Introgression in the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex
Speciation as a process remains a central focus of evolutionary biology, but our understanding of the genomic architecture and prevalence of speciation in the face of gene flow remains incomplete. The Anopheles gambiae species complex of malaria mosquitoes is a radiation of ecologically diverse taxa. This complex is well-suited for testing for evidence of a speciation continuum and genomic barr...
متن کاملA neutral view of the evolving genomic architecture of speciation
Analyses of genomewide polymorphism data have begun to shed light on speciation and adaptation. Genome scans to identify regions of the genome that are unusually different between populations or species, possibly due to divergent natural or sexual selection, are widespread in speciation genomics. Theoretical and empirical work suggests that such outlier regions may grow faster than linearly dur...
