DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1756
Abstract: PREMISE Ecogeographic isolation, or geographic isolation caused by ecological divergence, is thought to be of primary importance in speciation, yet is difficult to demonstrate and quantify. To determine whether distributions are limited by divergent adaptation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7089
Abstract: Abstract Understanding the relative importance of different sources of selection (e.g., the environment, social/sexual selection) on the divergence or convergence of reproductive communication can shed light on the origin, maintenance, or even disappearance of species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8888
Abstract: Abstract The study of sister species that occur in parapatry around biogeographic transition zones can help understand the evolutionary processes that underlie the changes in species composition across biogeographic transition zones. The South Eastern Pacific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9740
Abstract: Abstract The accurate delimitation of species boundaries in nonbilaterian marine taxa is notoriously difficult, with consequences for many studies in ecology and evolution. Anthozoans are a diverse group of key structural organisms worldwide, but the… read more here.

Neuromorphological disparity in deep-living sister species of the Antarctic fish genus Trematomus

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02794-0
Abstract: Because sister species share a phenotypic axis, they hold morphological and ecological traits in common and, when sympatric, are ideal subjects for examining the extent of morphological divergence associated with the non-shared ecological parameters of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blz129
Abstract: We reassessed whether two parapatric non-sister Australian honeyeater species (Aves: Meliphagidae), varied and mangrove honeyeaters (Gavicalis versicolor and G. fasciogularis, respectively), that diverged from a common ancestor c. 2.5 Mya intergrade in the Townsville area… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zly083
Abstract: Group-living behaviour is rare in spiders but has evolved repeatedly, yielding several species, some showing cooperation among close kin, and others living in colonies where each female builds its own web and is territorial. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15981
Abstract: The Pleistocene glacial cycles had a profound impact on the ranges and genetic make‐up of organisms. While it is clear that the contact zones that have been described for many sister taxa are secondary and… read more here.

Whole‐genome sequencing reveals asymmetric introgression between two sister species of cold‐resistant leaf beetles

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16011
Abstract: A large number of genetic variation studies have identified cases of mitochondrial genome introgression in animals, indicating that reproductive barriers among closely related species are often permeable. Because of its sheer size, the impact of… read more here.
