Abstract: Historical variation in food resources is expected to be a major driver of cetacean evolution, especially for the smallest species like porpoises. Despite major conservation issues among porpoise species (e.g., vaquita and finless), their evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/bly198
Abstract: Alloparapatric species meeting in secondary contact zones are evolutionary witnesses to how reproductive isolation progresses over time and space. Western Palearctic tree frogs (Hyla) are phenotypically similar and all the species pairs tested can hybridize… read more here.

Sex chromosomes in meiotic, hemiclonal, clonal and polyploid hybrid vertebrates: along the ‘extended speciation continuum'

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2020.0103
Abstract: We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation (speciation continuum). Under early divergence, well-differentiated sex chromosomes in meiotic hybrids may… read more here.

Phylogeography of a cryptic speciation continuum in Eurasian spadefoot toads (Pelobates)

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15133
Abstract: Cryptic phylogeographic diversifications provide unique models to examine the role of phylogenetic divergence on the evolution of reproductive isolation, without extrinsic factors such as ecological and behavioural differentiation. Yet, to date very few comparative studies… read more here.
