The multispecies coalescent over-splits species in the case of geographically widespread taxa
Many recent species delimitation studies rely exclusively on limited analyses of genetic data
analyzed under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model, and results from these studies …

Isolation by distance, not incipient ecological speciation, explains genetic differentiation in an Andean songbird (Aves: Furnariidae: Cranioleuca antisiensis, Line …
During the process of ecological speciation, reproductive isolation results from divergent
natural selection and leads to a positive correlation between genetic divergence and …

Floral phenotypic divergence and genomic insights in an Ophrys orchid: unraveling early speciation processes
A Gibert, B Schatz, R Buscail, D Nguyen… - New …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Adaptive radiation in Ophrys orchids leads to complex floral phenotypes that vary in scent,
color and shape. Using a novel pipeline to quantify these phenotypes, we investigated trait …

Habitat‐linked genetic variation supports microgeographic adaptive divergence in an Island‐endemic bird species
We investigated the potential mechanisms driving habitat‐linked genetic divergence within a
bird species endemic to a single 250‐km2 island. The island scrub‐jay (Aphelocoma …

Deep ecomorphological and genetic divergence in Steller's Jays (Cyanocitta stelleri, Aves: Corvidae)
The relationship between ecology and morphology is a cornerstone of evolutionary biology,
and quantifying variation across environments can shed light on processes that give rise to …

Different drought-adaptive capacity of a native Patagonian tree species (Nothofagus pumilio) resulting from local adaptation
The resistance of different genotypes to abiotic stress may be due to genetic effects and/or to
phenotypic plasticity allowing them to acclimate to variable conditions. The contribution of …

Absence of population structure across elevational gradients despite large phenotypic variation in mountain chickadees (Poecile gambeli)
Montane habitats are characterized by predictably rapid heterogeneity along elevational
gradients and are useful for investigating the consequences of environmental heterogeneity …

Genomic variation, population history and within-archipelago adaptation between island bird populations
Oceanic island archipelagos provide excellent models to understand evolutionary
processes. Colonization events and gene flow can interact with selection to shape genetic …

A novel locus on chromosome 1 underlies the evolution of a melanic plumage polymorphism in a wild songbird
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversification within and among
species ultimately rests with linking naturally occurring mutations to functionally and …
