Identification of genes involved in reproductive isolation opens novel ways to investigate links
between stages of the speciation process. Are the genes coding for ecological adaptations …

… linked to the same RI locus, our outlier analysis indicates CHD1Z is under divergent selection
while CETN3 is not, and is therefore a more likely candidate to be the RI locus. CHD1 (the …

… We thus retain RPS4 as a candidate RI locus between Italian and Spanish sparrows when …
our correlation comparison of candidate hybrid–parent RI loci. Furthermore, in our reanalysis, …

The relative roles of evolutionary history and geographical and ecological contingency for
community assembly remain unknown. Plant species, for instance, share more phytophages …

Character displacement can reduce costly interspecific interactions between young species.
We investigated the mechanisms behind divergence in three key traits—breeding habitat …

Many livestock and human vaccines are leaky because they block symptoms but do not
prevent infection or onward transmission. This leakiness is concerning because it increases …

Vaccination is the main tool for controlling infectious diseases in livestock. Yet current vaccines
only provide partial protection raising concerns about vaccine effectiveness in the field. …

Dispersal limitation has been considered to decrease with body size in animals and to be
an important factor limiting community assembly on spatially isolated patches. Here we …

Over the past decade, the high-dose refuge (HDR) strategy, aimed at delaying the evolution
of pest resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins produced by transgenic crops, became …

Ecological divergence among populations may be strongly influenced by their genetic
background. For instance, genetic admixture through introgressive hybridization or hybrid …
