TLDR
Tests of parallel evolution of reproductive isolation, trait-based assortative mating, and reproductive isolation by active selection have demonstrated that ecological speciation is a common means by which new species arise.Abstract:
Natural selection commonly drives the origin of species, as Darwin initially claimed. Mechanisms of speciation by selection fall into two broad categories: ecological and mutation-order. Under ecological speciation, divergence is driven by divergent natural selection between environments, whereas under mutation-order speciation, divergence occurs when different mutations arise and are fixed in separate populations adapting to similar selection pressures. Tests of parallel evolution of reproductive isolation, trait-based assortative mating, and reproductive isolation by active selection have demonstrated that ecological speciation is a common means by which new species arise. Evidence for mutation-order speciation by natural selection is more limited and has been best documented by instances of reproductive isolation resulting from intragenomic conflict. However, we still have not identified all aspects of selection, and identifying the underlying genes for reproductive isolation remains challenging.read more

The integrative future of taxonomy.
TL;DR: It is concluded that taxonomy needs to be pluralistic to improve species discovery and description, and to develop novel protocols to produce the much-needed inventory of life in a reasonable time.

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.

Diversitree : comparative phylogenetic analyses of diversification in R
TL;DR: The R package ‘diversitree’ contains a number of classical and contemporary comparative phylogenetic methods that are suitable for analysing trait evolution and estimating speciation/extinction rates independently.
