Studies of reproductive isolation have shown that the number of genes that are involved is often large. Between closely related species of Drosophila, the number of such genes might often be in the ...

Speciation is a central and fundamental process in evolution that concerns the origin of reproductive isolation. The latest generation of genomic approaches provide remarkable opportunities to ...

In a world without natural selection and no vast mountain ranges dividing populations, one might expect biodiversity to remain forever stagnant. But according to a study published this week in Nature, ...

A paper published by URI researchers reveals key mechanisms in speciation in corals. Critically threatened by climate change, a better understanding of coral biology will help efforts to conserve and ...
