Some evidence in the literature suggests that speciation with gene flow could occur (some examples in plants). Shafaat (Ricardo Azevedo) showed today that gene flow can cause more speciation for a given genetic differentiation. Cool stuff!

New study by @tribblelab.bsky.social @jimarcor.bsky.social @marcialescudero.bsky.social Michael May, Rosana Zenil-Ferguson and myself just out: Introduces a novel HiSSE chromosome model and demonstrates the importance of chrom. evol. in #sedge diversity. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Fig. 1: The Chromosome number and Hidden State-dependent Speciation and Extinction (ChromoHiSSE) model. Panel (a) describes the event rates allowed in the model for both cladogenetic (upper) and anagenetic (lower) events. Panels (b) and (c) demonstrate those rates on a tree simulated under ChromoHiSSE. Branches that do not reach the present represent extinct, unsampled lineages. Panel (b) shows the anagenetic and cladogenetic changes in the hidden states, indicated by blue (i) vs orange (ii). Panel (c) shows the anagenetic and cladogenetic gains and losses of chromosomes, as well as speciation with no corresponding change in chromosome numbers. More red colors in (c) correspond to more chromosomes. The vertical blue and orange bars in (c) indicate clades in the blue (i) vs orange (ii) hidden states, displaying that chromosome number changes are less frequent in the blue hidden state than in the orange. The asterisk in (c) demarcates where a cladogenetic dysploidy event could appear as an anagenetic event because of unsampled lineages.

I guess I am one of the few. We for sure need effective parameters in pop gen. But the idea that there is one scalar that will capture the complexity of population genetics and then can be used for the species as a whole and for every question is bonkers. And has been really damaging imo.
