Factors contributing to the accumulation of reproductive isolation: A mixed model approach

The analysis of large datasets describing reproductive isolation between species has been extremely influential in the study of speciation. However, the statistical methods currently used for these data limit the ability to make direct inferences about the factors predicting the evolution of reproductive isolation. As a result, our understanding of iconic patterns and rules of speciation rely o...

Limits to speciation inferred from times to secondary sympatry and ages of hybridizing species along a latitudinal gradient.

Range expansions are critical to renewed bouts of allopatric or parapatric speciation. Limits on range expansions-and, by implication, speciation-include dispersal ability and permeability of geographical barriers. In addition, recently diverged taxa may interfere with each other, preventing mutual expansion of each other's range into sympatry, because reproductive isolation is incomplete and/o...

When rarity has costs: coexistence under positive frequency-dependence and environmental stochasticity

Stable coexistence relies on negative frequency-dependence, in which rarer species invading a patch benefit from a lack of conspecific competition experienced by residents. In nature, however, rarity can have costs, resulting in positive frequency-dependence particularly when species are rare. Many processes can cause positive frequency-dependence, including a lack of mates, mutualist interacti...
