A guide to the genomics of ecological speciation in natural animal populations

Abstract: Interest in ecological speciation is growing, as evidence accumulates showing that natural selection can lead to rapid divergence between subpopulations. However, whether and how ecological divergence can lead to the buildup of reproductive isolation remains under debate. What is the relative importance of natural selection vs. neutral processes? How does adaptation generate reproductive isolation? Can ecological speciation occur despite homogenizing gene flow? These questions can be addressed using genomic ap… Show more

“…In the past decade, a revived interest in the role of adaptation to different environments in speciation, that is, ecological speciation, has emerged [1][2][3][4]. One important mechanism underlying ecological speciation is the buildup of reproductive isolation caused by habitat segregation (i.e., habitat isolation, e.g., [5]).…”

“…in sympatry) is hypothesised to have a distinctive signature across the genome, with much of the genome having low divergence and some regions of the genome being very different between diverging populations (for review see Feder et al, 2012;Via, 2012). Discerning and disentangling such patterns in wild populations, to identify whether empirical data support theoretical predictions, is a key goal of population genomics (Butlin, 2010;Elmer & Meyer, 2011;Rice et al, 2011;Rogers et al, 2013).…”

“…In Paradisaeidae (birds of paradise), for example, 43% of species hybridize in nature (Mallet, 2005). How these species can maintain their behavioral, phenotypic and ecological differences in the face of prevailing interspecific gene flow is an exciting question for speciation studies (for example, Pinho and Hey, 2010;Rice et al, 2011). Relevant information regarding the consequences of interspecific gene flow on a species' genome can be gained from examining variations in the pattern of introgression among loci (for example, Barton and Hewitt, 1985;Barton and Gale, 1993;Gay et al, 2007;Luttikhuizen et al, 2012).…”
