Darwin's theory of sexual selection fundamentally changed how we think about sex and
evolution. The struggle over mating and fertilization is a powerful driver of diversification …

The origin, distribution, and function of biological diversity are fundamental themes of
ecology and evolutionary biology. Research on birds has played a major role in the history …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

The large body of theory on speciation with gene flow has brought to light fundamental
differences in the effects of two types of mating rules on speciation: preference/trait rules, in …

Sexual selection plays several intricate and complex roles in the related processes of local
adaptation and speciation. In some cases sexual selection can promote these processes …

Speciation can be mediated by a variety of reproductive barriers, and the interaction among
different barriers has often been shown to enhance overall reproductive isolation, a process …

Twenty years ago, a seminal paper summarized the role of sexual selection in speciation as
the coordinated evolution of (male) courtship signals and (female) preferences leading to …

Partial prezygotic isolation is often viewed as more important than partial postzygotic
isolation (low fitness of hybrids) early in the process of speciation. I simulate secondary …

Rapid adaptive radiation poses two distinct questions apart from speciation and adaptation:
What happens after one speciation event and how do some lineages continue speciating …

Speciation often involves the evolution of multiple genetic-based barriers to gene flow
(ie,“coupling”). However, barriers may exhibit a diversity of evolutionary interactions during …
