Reproductive isolation in plants occurs through multiple barriers that restrict gene flow
between populations, but their origins remain uncertain. Work in the past decade has shown …

Understanding how pollen moves between species is critical to understanding speciation,
diversification, and evolution of flowering plants. For co-flowering species that share …

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 …

INTRODUCTION Reproductive isolation is the inability of a species to breed with a related
species and thus is key to the formation and evolution of a new plant species. Within the …

How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

The evolution of predominant self‐fertilisation frequently coincides with the evolution of a
collection of phenotypes that comprise the 'selfing syndrome', in both plants and animals …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

Local adaptation is a well‐established phenomenon whereby habitat‐mediated natural
selection drives the differentiation of populations. However, little is known about how specific …

Chromosomal rearrangements may directly cause hybrid sterility and can facilitate
speciation by preserving local adaptation in the face of gene flow. We used comparative …
