TL;DR: Emergent trends and gaps in understanding are identified, new approaches to more fully integrate genomics into speciation research are proposed, and an integrative definition of the field of speciation genomics is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomics of Rapid Incipient Speciation in Sympatric Threespine Stickleback.
David Alexander Marques,David Alexander Marques,Kay Lucek,Kay Lucek,Kay Lucek,Joana I. Meier,Joana I. Meier,Salome Mwaiko,Salome Mwaiko,Catherine E. Wagner,Catherine E. Wagner,Catherine E. Wagner,Laurent Excoffier,Laurent Excoffier,Ole Seehausen,Ole Seehausen +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that adaptive genomic differentiation at many genetic loci can arise and persist in sympatry at the very early stage of ecotype divergence, and that the genomic architecture of adaptation may facilitate this.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transitions between phases of genomic differentiation during stick-insect speciation
Rüdiger Riesch,Moritz Muschick,Dorothea Lindtke,Romain Villoutreix,Aaron A. Comeault,Timothy E. Farkas,Kay Lucek,Elizabeth Hellen,Víctor Soria-Carrasco,Stuart R. Dennis,Clarissa F. de Carvalho,Rebecca J. Safran,Cristina P. Sandoval,Jeffrey L. Feder,Regine Gries,Bernard J. Crespi,Gerhard Gries,Zach Gompert,Patrik Nosil +18 more
TL;DR: Intermediate phases of speciation are associated with genome-wide differentiation and mate choice, but not growth of a few genomic islands, and a gap in genomic differentiation between sympatric taxa that still exchange genes and those that do not is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that deficiency in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential ω-3 fatty acid, can constrain freshwater colonization by marine fishes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybridization between distant lineages increases adaptive variation during a biological invasion: stickleback in Switzerland
Kay Lucek,Kay Lucek,Denis Roy,Denis Roy,Etienne Bezault,Etienne Bezault,Arjun Sivasundar,Arjun Sivasundar,Ole Seehausen,Ole Seehausen +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that during the recent invasive range expansion of sticklebacks in Switzerland, adaptive and neutral between‐population genetic variation was converted into within‐population variation, raising the possibility that hybridization between colonizing lineages contributed to the ecological success of Stickleback in Switzerland.
