In this contribution, the aspects of reptile and amphibian speciation that emerged from research performed over the past decade are reviewed. First, this study assesses how patterns and processes of speciation depend on ...

The tropical Andes are an important natural laboratory to understand speciation in many taxa. Here we examined the evolutionary history of parasites of the Leishmania braziliensis species complex based on whole-genome ...

The divergence-with-gene-flow model of ecological speciation proposes speciation can proceed despite genetic interchange in populations distributed along environment al gradients, where variable selective regimes act on ...

The Andes harbour an outstanding taxonomic and ecological diversity, for which several mechanisms promoting diversification, including ecological gradients and allopatric speciation, have been cited. The grasshopper genus ...
