Mate choice in the sailfin molly, poecilia latipinna.
Margaret B. Ptacek,Joseph Travis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined both female and male mate choice in the sailfin molly, Poecilia latipinna, and found no evidence that males preferred native over foreign females when encountered singly or in size-matched combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of new mutations under divergence and genome hitchhiking.
TL;DR: It is found that the strength of selection acting directly on a new mutation is generally the most important predictor for establishment, with divergence and genomic hitchhiking having smaller effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Color pattern evolution, assortative mating, and genetic differentiation in brightly colored butterflyfishes (chaetodontidae).
TL;DR: It is found that in only one member of this group, Chaetodon multicinctus, is color pattern evolution associated with mate preference and genetic divergence, which strongly suggest that selection is maintaining color pattern differences in allopatry in the face of potentially homogenizing levels of gene flow.

Biosystematics of Reticulitermes termites in Europe: morphological, chemical and molecular data
J.-L. Clément,Anne-Geneviève Bagnères,Paolo Uva,Lena Wilfert,Alexandre Quintana,Judith Reinhard,S. Dronnet +6 more
TL;DR: In Europe the most abundant naturally residing termite is the subterranean genus Reticulitermes (Rhinotermitidae), which has been identified on the basis of morphological, chemical, and molecular features, and the species status of these genotypes has been confirmed by the mechanisms of species isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical range and speciation in fossil and living molluscs.
David Jablonski,Kaustuv Roy +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the view that the factors promoting broad geographical ranges also tend to damp speciation rates and demonstrate that a strong inverse relation between per–species speciation rate and geographical range need not be reflected in analyses conducted within a single timeplane.
