DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10025
Abstract: Abstract Species delimitation is an imperative first step toward understanding Earth's biodiversity, yet what constitutes a species and the relative importance of the various processes by which new species arise continue to be debatable. Species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6853
Abstract: Abstract The evolution of reproductive isolation lies at the heart of understanding the process of speciation. Of particular interest is the relationship between pre‐ and postzygotic reproductive isolation, and the genetic architecture of traits that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa258
Abstract: Abstract The Paramecium aurelia complex, a group of morphologically similar but sexually incompatible sibling species, is a unique example of the evolutionary plasticity of mating-type systems. Each species has two mating types, O (Odd) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toy232
Abstract: The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is a destructive rice pest of Asia. Currently, one important monitoring method of BPH is through black light trapping. However, two sibling species of BPH, Nilaparvata… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211591
Abstract: Metazoans host complex communities of microorganisms that include dinoflagellates, fungi, bacteria, archaea and viruses. Interactions among members of these complex assemblages allow hosts to adjust their physiology and metabolism to cope with environmental variation and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1734-y
Abstract: BackgroundMany of the mosquito species responsible for malaria transmission belong to a sibling complex; a taxonomic group of morphologically identical, closely related species. Sibling species often differ in several important factors that have the potential… read more here.
