New edited book on Speciation is now out. m.cshperspectives.cshlp.org/cgi/collecti... Thanks to Katie Peichel who led the team of Editors, and the folks at Cold Spring Harbor Press
Speciation peeps: What is your favourite example of long-term monitoring of natural populations documenting associations between ecological traits and the emergence of reproductive barriers? Birds, insects, fishes, more?
Just one month until we begin reviewing applications. Please apply, &/or share widely! Feel free to ask questions of me or any other potential collaborators among the Princeton EEB faculty. Looking forward to learning about your research ideas, people! 🤩
New edited volume on Speciation, organized by Katie Peichel and colleagues, coming soon from Cold Springs Harbor Press
Divergent selection due to different host use interacts with geography in the evolution of habitat isolation and sexual isolation during the later stages of speciation of Belonocnema wasps @linyizhang.bsky.social@scottpegan.bsky.socialacademic.oup.com/jeb/article/...
The reason i think the phrase “speciation with gene flow “ is more interesting is that the word “speciation” together with “gene flow” reveals the dilemma. Speciation is a process of divergence while gene flow is a force to homogenize. How does divergence occur with a strong force of homogenizing?
I disagree, speciation with gene flow could occur under non ecological selection(e.g. intrinsic genetic incompatibility). Also speciation with gene flow is way more interesting than speciation under selection.

Understanding the drivers of trade-offs among traits is vital for comprehending the evolution and maintenance of trait variation. Theoretical frameworks propose that evolutionary mechanisms governing ...
So does GWU. I am wondering whether this budget cuts is a widespread phenomenon among American University due to pandemic income loss
