Reproductive isolation (RI) is a core concept in evolutionary biology. It has been the central
focus of speciation research since the modern synthesis and is the basis by which biological …

Coupling has emerged as a concept to describe the transition from differentiated
populations to newly evolved species through the strengthening of reproductive isolation …

A primary roadblock to our understanding of speciation is that it usually occurs over a
timeframe that is too long to study from start to finish. The idea of a speciation continuum …

Speciation is a key evolutionary process that is not yet fully understood. Combining
population genomic and ecological data from multiple diverging pairs of marine snails …

Chromosomal inversions have long been recognized for their role in local adaptation. By
suppressing recombination in heterozygous individuals, they can maintain coadapted gene …

It is thought that two species can coexist if they use different resources present in the
environment, yet this assumes that species are completely reproductively isolated. We …

Chromosomal inversions have been shown to play a major role in a local adaptation by
suppressing recombination between alternative arrangements and maintaining beneficial …

Marine environments are inhabited by a broad representation of the tree of life, yet our
understanding of speciation in marine ecosystems is extremely limited compared with …

Sexual antagonism is a common hypothesis for driving the evolution of sex chromosomes,
whereby recombination suppression is favored between sexually antagonistic loci and the …

Conceptual models of adaptive divergence and ecological speciation in sympatry predict
differential resource use, phenotype–environment correlations, and reduced gene flow …
