Abstract: Abstract Speciation is facilitated by “magic traits,” where divergent natural selection on such traits also results in assortative mating. In animal populations, diet has the potential to act as a magic trait if populations diverge… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Sexual imprinting is widespread in birds and other species but its existence requires explanation. Our results suggest that sexual imprinting leads to speciation in locally‐adapted populations if a neutral mating cue—e.g., novel plumage coloration—arises… read more here.
