Sympatric speciation in phytophagous insects: moving beyond controversy?

TL;DR: The evidence for sympatric speciation via host shifting for phytophagous insects is reviewed and a set of testable predictions for distinguishing geographic mode (allopatric versus sympatrics) of divergence are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genomics of speciation-with-gene-flow

TL;DR: A theory predicting four phases of speciation, defined by changes in the relative effectiveness of divergence and genome hitchhiking, is described and future directions are outlined, emphasizing the need to couple next-generation sequencing with selection, transplant, functional genomics, and mapping studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic differentiation between sympatric host races of the apple maggot fly Rhagoletis pomonella

TL;DR: The result confirms that hawthorn and apple flies represent partially reproductively isolated 'host races' and is consistent with a sympatric mode of divergence for these flies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host fidelity is an effective premating barrier between sympatric races of the apple maggot fly

TL;DR: The results verify that host-associated adaptation can produce reproductive isolation as a correlated character (a key premise of sympatric speciation) and represents one of the few or perhaps only example in animals where the intra-specific isolating effects of specific phenotypes have been quantified in nature.
