DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1782
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Habitat fragmentation generates molecular genetic divergence among isolated populations but few studies have assessed phenotypic divergence and fitness in populations where the genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation are known. Phenotypic divergence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2966
Abstract: Abstract Natural selection and drift can act on populations individually, simultaneously or in tandem and our understanding of phenotypic divergence depends on our ability to recognize the contribution of each. According to the quantitative theory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5273
Abstract: Abstract Species distributed along mountain slopes, facing contrasting habitats in short geographic scale, are of particular interest to test how ecologically based divergent selection promotes phenotypic and genetic disparities as well as to assess isolation‐by‐environment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5381
Abstract: Abstract Divergence in phenotypic traits is facilitated by a combination of natural selection, phenotypic plasticity, gene flow, and genetic drift, whereby the role of drift is expected to be particularly important in small and isolated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9766
Abstract: Abstract Island systems have long served as a model for evolutionary processes due to their unique species interactions. Many studies of the evolution of species interactions on islands have focused on endemic taxa. Fewer studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3713-x
Abstract: Ecological speciation, which relies heavily on selection driving the emergence of new species, has become the primary paradigm through which rapid species radiations are understood. In this way, selection, particularly ecological selection, is assumed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-021-00481-2
Abstract: Phenotypic and genetic divergence are shaped by the homogenizing effects of gene flow and the differentiating processes of genetic drift and local adaptation. Herein, we examined the mechanisms that underlie phenotypic (size and color) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.11.09.515789
Abstract: Background Dissecting the genetic basis of variation in the regulation of gene expression is essential for understanding phenotypic evolution. Structural variants intersecting the cis-regulatory elements are found to cause gene expression variation in several developmental… read more here.
