Non-Allopatric Speciation in Animals

Douglas J. Futuyma, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1980 - 
TL;DR: The extent to which the theory and evidence amassed since 1963 warrant a major change in views of animal speciation is reviewed, and the theory of stasipatric speciation and purported cases of sympatrics associated with a shift to a new host are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Speciation reversal and biodiversity dynamics with hybridization in changing environments

Ole Seehausen, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: A loss of environmental heterogeneity causes a loss of biodiversity through increased genetic admixture, effectively reversing speciation, and the evolutionary ecology of speciation reversal ought to be fully integrated into conservation biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic comparative methods and the geography of speciation

Jonathan B. Losos, +1 more
- 01 May 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that interspecific phylogenies are unable to test alternative hypotheses concerning the geography of Speciation rigorously because of the lability of geographical ranges and the lack of correlation between the role of adaptive processes and geographical mode of speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bureaucratic Mischief: Recognizing Endangered Species and Subspecies

Stephen J. O'Brien, +1 more
- 08 Mar 1991 - 
TL;DR: The interpretive difficulties posed by molecular results for four endangered groups are summarized and three opinions from the Solicitor's Office of the Department of the Interior have ruled with the force of precedent that hybrids between endangered species, subspecies, or populations cannot be protected.

Reinforcement drives rapid allopatric speciation

Conrad J. Hoskin, +3 more
- 27 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that reinforcing natural selection has resulted in significant premating isolation of a population in the contact zone not only from the other lineage but also, incidentally, from the closely related main range of its own lineage.
