The strength of reproductive isolating barriers in seed plants: Insights from studies quantifying premating and postmating reproductive barriers over the past 15 years

K Christie, LS Fraser, DB Lowry - Evolution, 2022‏ - academic.oup.com
Speciation is driven by the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers that reduce, and
ultimately prevent, substantial gene flow between lineages. Despite its central role in …

Selective sorting of ancestral introgression in maize and teosinte along an elevational cline

E Calfee, D Gates, A Lorant, MT Perkins, G Coop… - PLoS …, 2021‏ - journals.plos.org
While often deleterious, hybridization can also be a key source of genetic variation and pre-
adapted haplotypes, enabling rapid evolution and niche expansion. Here we evaluate these …

Plant speciation across environmental gradients and the occurrence and nature of hybrid zones

RJ Abbott - Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
Environmental gradients are very common and many plant species respond to them through
adaptive genetic change. This can be a first step along a continuum of change that leads …

Evolutionary processes from the perspective of flowering time diversity

A Gaudinier, BK Blackman - New Phytologist, 2020‏ - Wiley Online Library
Although it is well appreciated that genetic studies of flowering time regulation have led to
