In this contribution, the aspects of reptile and amphibian speciation that emerged from
research performed over the past decade are reviewed. First, this study assesses how …

Background Resolving the short phylogenetic branches that result from rapid evolutionary
diversification often requires large numbers of loci. We collected targeted sequence capture …

Mitonuclear discordance is a frequently encountered pattern in phylogeographic studies and
occurs when mitochondrial and nuclear DNA display conflicting signals. Discordance …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) evolves because body size is usually related to reproductive
success through different pathways in females and males. Female body size is strongly …

Phylogeographic research investigates biodiversity at the interface between populations
and species, in a temporal and geographic context. Phylogeography has benefited from …

Species are fundamental units in many biological disciplines, but there is continuing
disagreement as to what species are, how to define them, and even whether the concept is …

Deterministic processes may uniquely affect codistributed species' phylogeographic patterns
such that discordant genetic variation among taxa is predicted. Yet, explicitly testing …

Darwin's elucidation of natural selection as a creative evolu-tionary force was one of the
monumental intellectual achievements in the history of science, not only revolutionizing …

Introgression is now commonly reported in studies across the Tree of Life, aided by recent
advancements in data collection and analysis. Nevertheless, researchers working with …

As shown from several long‐term and time‐intensive studies, closely related, sympatric
species can impose strong selection on one another, leading to dramatic examples of …
