ESEB-funded Special Topic Network, Integration Of Speciation Research (IOS) is organizing a workshop to be held later this year (7th to 11th December 2026) at the Scottish Centre for Ecology & the Nat...

Abstract. Contemporary evolution allows us to investigate how natural selection drives phenotypic and genotypic evolution in nature. Recent advances in mol

Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas...

Flight may affect the dispersal and evolution of birds. Using a new evolutionary tree, Claramunt et al. find that efficient fliers have broader geographic ranges, and speciation reduces range size, bu...

In many butterfly species, males emerge earlier than females as part of a strategy to maximize male reproductive success. Although behavioral ecologic…
