Sympatric bromeliad species (Pitcairnia spp.) facilitate tests of mechanisms involved in species cohesion and reproductive isolation in Neotropical inselbergs

Palma-Silva, Clarisse ; Wendt, T. ; Pinheiro, Fábio ; Barbará, Thelma ; Fay, Michael F. ; Cozzolino, Salvatore ; Lexer, Christian

In: Molecular Ecology, 2011, vol. 20, no. 15, p. 3185–3201

The roles of intra- and interspecific gene flow in speciation and species evolution are topics of great current interest in molecular ecology and evolutionary biology. Recent modelling studies call for new empirical data to test hypotheses arising from the recent shift from a ‘whole-genome reproductive isolation’ view to a ‘genic’ view of species and speciation. Particularly scarce (and...

Benefits from living together? Clades whose species use similar habitats may persist as a result of eco-evolutionary feedbacks

Prinzing, Andreas ; Ozinga, Wim A. ; Brändle, Martin ; Courty, Pierre-Emmanuel ; Hennion, Françoise ; Labandeira, Conrad ; Parisod, Christian ; Pihain, Mickael ; Bartish, Igor V.

In: New Phytologist, 2017, vol. 213, no. 1, p. 66–82

Recent decades have seen declines of entire plant clades while other clades persist despite changing environments. We suggest that one reason why some clades persist is that species within these clades use similar habitats, because such similarity may increase the degree of co-occurrence of species within clades. Traditionally, co- occurrence among clade members has been suggested to be...

Genomic scan for single nucleotide polymorphisms reveals patterns of divergence and gene flow between ecologically divergent species

Stölting, Kai N. ; Nipper, Rick ; Lindtke, Dorothea ; Caseys, Celine ; Waeber, Stephan ; Castiglione, Stefano ; Lexer, Christian

In: Molecular Ecology, 2013, vol. 22, no. 3, p. 842–855

Recent advances in population genomics have triggered great interest in the genomic landscape of divergence in taxa with ‘porous’ species boundaries. One important obstable of previous studies of this topic was the low genomic coverage achieved. This issue can now be overcome by the use of ‘next generation’ or short-read DNA-sequencing approaches capable of assaying many thousands of...
