Despite the well-known effects of sexual selection on phenotypes, links between this
evolutionary process and reproductive isolation, genomic divergence, and speciation have …

Adaptive radiations are rich laboratories for exploring, testing, and understanding key
theories in evolution and ecology because they offer spectacular displays of speciation and …

The compound eyes of insects exhibit stunning variation in size, structure, and function,
which has allowed these animals to use their vision to adapt to a huge range of different …

Large structural variants in the genome, such as inversions, may play an important role in
producing population structure and local adaptation to the environment through suppression …

This paper is the first step in a study that aims to use details of mating and courtship
behaviour to explain realized patterns of interbreeding between closely related species. We …

Adaptive introgression involves the acquisition of advantageous genetic variants through
hybridisation, which are subsequently favoured by natural selection due to their association …

The wood figure is a crucial wood trait that contributes to its versatile applications, drawing
attention and inspiring imagination. This study aims to elucidate the impact of color attributes …

The diversity of life forms that surround us formed through a variety of processes. Speciation
researchers use a suite of comparative approaches to understand both the generalities and …

Background Trait variation is shaped by functional roles of traits and the strength and
direction of selection acting on the traits. We hypothesized that in butterflies, sexually …

For millions of years, brightly colored and unpalatable Heliconius butterflies have flitted
around vine-entangled forests of the Neotropics. Between geographical regions, a single …
