Mol Ecol 18:375-402. 2009..e. genomic islands of divergence), a topic in need of future investigation...
Ecological explanations for (incomplete) speciationPatrik Nosil
Zoology Department and Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Trends Ecol Evol 24:145-56. 2009..However, evidence for each selective hypothesis is still scarce, and further work is required to determine their relative importance...
Adaptive population divergence in cryptic color-pattern following a reduction in gene flowPatrik Nosil
Zoology Department and Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada
Evolution 63:1902-12. 2009..Thus, the findings provide experimental evidence that gene flow constrains adaptation in nature...
Heterogeneous genomic differentiation between walking-stick ecotypes: "isolation by adaptation" and multiple roles for divergent selectionPatrik Nosil
Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Evolution 62:316-36. 2008..They thus illustrate the varied and sometimes nonintuitive contributions of selection to heterogeneous genomic differentiation...
Ecological niche dimensionality and the evolutionary diversification of stick insectsPatrik Nosil
Zoology Department and Centre for Biodiversity Research, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
PLoS ONE 3:e1907. 2008..Although further replication of the trends reported here is required, the results suggest that dimensionality of selection may complement genetic and geographic explanations for the degree of diversification in nature...
Natural selection and divergence in mate preference during speciationPatrik Nosil
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada
Genetica 129:309-27. 2007..Our results illustrate how understanding of the evolution of sexual isolation can be enhanced by isolating the roles of diverse ecological and evolutionary processes...
Divergent host plant adaptation and reproductive isolation between ecotypes of Timema cristinae walking sticksPatrik Nosil
Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada
Am Nat 169:151-62. 2007..cristinae ecotypes is incomplete, and so only the stages before the completion of speciation have been examined. Studies of more divergent taxa within the genus are required to determine the factors that complete speciation...
The role of gene expression in ecological speciationScott A Pavey
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1206:110-29. 2010..The study of gene expression has promise for increasing our understanding ecological speciation, particularly when integrative approaches are applied...
Speciation with gene flow could be commonPatrik Nosil
Zoology Department and Centre for Biodiversity Research, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Boulevard, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z4
Mol Ecol 17:2103-6. 2008..Future work on the ecological and genetic factors reducing gene flow will likely increase our understanding of the conditions that faciliate divergence in the face of gene flow...
