Intrinsic postzygotic barriers can play an important and multifaceted role in speciation, but
their contribution is often thought to be reserved to the final stages of the speciation process …

Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may
slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Acoustic communication is crucial to humans and many other tetrapods, including birds,
frogs, crocodilians, and mammals. However, large-scale patterns in its evolution are largely …

Acoustic signals mediate mate choice, resource defense, and species recognition in a broad
range of taxa. It has been proposed, therefore, that divergence in acoustic signals plays a …

The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of
the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic …

We report the construction and analysis of 4,836 heterozygous diploid deletion mutants
covering 98.4% of the fission yeast genome providing a tool for studying eukaryotic biology …

Amphibians are in decline worldwide. However, their patterns of diversity, especially in the
tropics, are not well understood, mainly because of incomplete information on taxonomy and …
