• THE BIOLOGY OF SPECIATION (2010, background): “Given the numerous examples of this locus regulating color over broad taxonomic categories, it is perhaps surprising that along the Atlantic coast, similarly colored populations of beach mice have reached the same phenotype by changes at different loci (Steiner et al. 2009).”
• Ecotypes and the controversy over stages in the formation of new species (2012, background): “…(2009) laid out the third wave’s argument for studying speciation as a process involving stages: ‘Notably, different species concepts can disagree on when speciation starts and when it is complete, while still sharing the characteristic of having stages of divergence’ (Nosil et al., 2009: 145–146).”
• Multispecies coalescent delimits structure, not species (2017, background): “Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 107(20):9264–9269.”
• Genetics and ecological speciation (2009, background): “Finally, divergent selection may be more effective than parallel selection simply because it acts on more traits and on more genes (16).”
• Under niche construction: an operational bridge between ecology, evolution, and ecosystem science (2014, background): “One possibility is that organisms may differentially modify multiple axes of environmental variation so as to increase the dimensionality of selection regimes and strengthen divergent selection (Nosil et al. 2009).”
• Speciation in Freshwater Fishes (2014, background): “This approach, however, may lead researchers toward studying not only cases of population divergence that will never result in speciation (Nosil et al. 2009) but many cases that may not at all be representative for early stages of processes that do lead to speciation.”
• Stickleback research: the now and the next (2013, background): “Although this variation might be frustrating in its uncertainty, it provides an excellent opportunity to explore the factors promoting and constraining progress towards speciation (Hendry, 2009; Hendry et al., 2009; Nosil et al., 2009b).”
• Refugia revisited: individualistic responses of species in space and time (2010, background): “…refugia could occasionally lead to this kind of rapid evolution, as these populations fulfil several of the requirements for allopatric speciation (Mayr 1954; Eldredge & Gould 1972), particularly ‘ecological’ speciation under strong adaptive selection (Hendry et al. 2007; Nosil et al. 2009).”
• Sympatric diversification as influenced by ecological opportunity and historical contingency in a young species lineage of whitefish (2010, background): “This continuum of increasing divergence in a single trait resembles the more general concept of a diversification continuum, with gradual evolution of specialization, polymorphism, and eventually speciation (Smith and Skúlason, 1996; Hendry, 2009; Nosil et al., 2009).”
• Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “These cases of ‘failed radiation’ are of great interest in their own right (Vamosi, 2003; Seehausen, 2006; Nosil et al., 2009), as we discuss below.”
• Ecological speciation in phytophagous insects (2010, background): “…evolutionary divergence could yield insight into this question, thereby yielding a comprehensive understanding of how speciation unfolds, from beginning to end (Funk, 1998; Drés & Mallet, 2002; Funk et al., 2002; Funk & Nosil, 2007; Mallet et al., 2007; Nosil et al., 2009b; Peccoud et al., 2009).”
• Predicting the Probability of Outbreeding Depression (2011, methodology): “…and empirical evidence from many plants and animals that rapid development of reproductive isolation (not associated with chromosomal aberrations) develops primarily by this mechanism (Coyne & Orr 2004; Rieseberg & Willis 2007; Nosil et al. 2009; plus 11 references in Supporting Information).”
• The Great Escarpment of southern Africa: a new frontier for biodiversity exploration (2011, background): “2007; Linder 2008), and the role of various parameters on Escarpment speciation (Jetz et al. 2004; Nosil et al. 2009).”
• The Role of Parasitism in Adaptive Radiations—When Might Parasites Promote and When Might They Constrain Ecological Speciation? (2012, background): “[5] related this to hypotheses about “stronger selection” when the completion of speciation depends on the strength of selection on a single trait, or “multifarious selection” when completion of speciation is more likely driven by independent selection on several traits [5].”
