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.

Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) : Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study using 16SrRNA Mitochondrial DNA was performed to test the phylogenetic relations among higher groups of Tephritidae: a case-study using Mitochondral ribosomal DNA was conducted.

Host shift to an invasive plant triggers rapid animal hybrid speciation

TL;DR: The first case in which hybridization between two host-specific animals (tephritid fruitflies) is clearly associated with the shift to a new resource is reported, suggesting the frequency of homoploid hybrid speciation in animals may be higher than previously assumed.

Revealing the factors that promote speciation

TL;DR: This work discusses recent advances in identifying correlates of diversity among higher taxa, and proposes new methods for analysing patterns in species–level phylogenies, drawing examples from a wide range of organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host-associated genetic differentiation in phytophagous insects: general phenomenon or isolated exceptions? evidence from a goldenrod-insect community

TL;DR: A survey of HAD in a community of herbivores indicates that ecological (perhaps sympatric) speciation may have been responsible for generating a significant fraction of the extant diversity of phytophagous insects.
