Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) present an unparalleled insect model to integrate
evolutionary genomics with ecology for the study of insect evolution. Key features of …

Growing evidence for lineage diversification that occurs without strong ecological
divergence (ie, nonadaptive radiation) challenges assumptions about the buildup and …

The Odonata are considered among the most endangered freshwater faunal taxa. Their
DNA‐based monitoring relies on validated reference data sets that are often lacking or do …

Range shifts can rapidly create new areas of geographic overlap between formerly allopatric
taxa and evidence is accumulating that this can affect species persistence. We review the …

Understanding how continental radiations are assembled across space and time is a major
question in macroevolutionary biology. Here, we use a phylogenomic-scale phylogeny, a …

External male reproductive structures have received considerable attention as a cause of
reproductive isolation (RI), because the morphology of these structures often evolves rapidly …

Biological diversification often includes burst of lineage splitting. Such “radiation” has been
known to act as evolutionary arenas with the potential to generate unique phylogenetic …

The evolution of reproductive barriers, that is, the speciation process, implies the limitation of
gene flow between populations. Different patterns of genomic differentiation throughout the …

Speciation rates vary greatly among taxa and regions and are shaped by both biotic and
abiotic factors. However, the relative importance and interactions of these factors are not …

Abstract Reproductive Character Displacement (RCD) refers to the phenomenon of greater
differences in reproductive characters between two species when they occur in sympatry …
