Individual-based model reveals sympatric allochronic divergence possible without ecological divergence. Male-male competition for females drives male activity timings towards an earlier activity timing niche:

Evolution of divergent daily temporal niches shaped by male–male competition can generate sympatric speciation
Abstract. Specialisation into different ecological niches is assumed as an important driver of speciation in sympatry. Here, we focused on male–male compet
