Hybrid zones are 'natural laboratories' for studying the origin, maintenance and demise of
species. Theory predicts that hybrid zones can move in space and time, with significant …

It is now 130 years since Fritz Müller proposed an evolutionary explanation for the close
similarity of co-existing unpalatable prey species, a phenomenon now known as Müllerian …

The interaction between sibling species that share a zone of contact is a multifaceted
relationship affected by climate change [1, 2]. Between sibling species, interactions may …

The study of zones of secondary contact provides insight into the maintenance of
reproductive isolation. Tension zone theory supplies powerful tools for assessing how …

Natural selection leaves distinct signatures in the genome that can reveal the targets and
history of adaptive evolution. By analysing high-coverage genome sequence data from 4 …

Using cline fitting and divergence population genetics, we tested a prediction of Haldane's
rule: autosomal alleles should introgress more than z-linked alleles or mitochondrial …

Climate-mediated changes in hybridization will dramatically alter the genetic diversity,
adaptive capacity, and evolutionary trajectory of interbreeding species. Our ability to predict …

The mimetic butterflies Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene have undergone
parallel radiations to form a near-identical patchwork of over 20 different wing-pattern races …

Abstract Evolutionary Developmental Biology aims for a mechanistic understanding of
phenotypic diversity, and present knowledge is largely based on gene expression and …

Taxonomists, when describing a new species, often added the term bona species after the
Linnaean binomial. The implication is that there are also malae species. A “bad species” is a …
