Song divergence at the edge of Amazonia: an empirical test of the peripatric speciation model (2007, background): “…such as African indigobirds Vidua spp. (Sorenson, Sefc & Payne, 2003; Beltman, Haccou & ten Carte, 2004), but which could reduce the efficacy of song as a pre-mating barrier because copying between closely-related forms (Helb et al ., 1985) could lead to hybridization (Grant & Grant, 1997).”
Adaptation and diversification on islands (2009, background): “…sympatric as a result of one population colonizing an island already occupied by another, either they have already attained species-level distinctiveness or ecological and evolutionary processes acting in sympatry reinforce pre-existing differences, completing the speciation process 8,26 (Fig.”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “This fact reflects the long tradition of comparative work on the life-history characteristics of birds, especially as they relate to reproduction (e.g., Lack, 1947, 1968; Skutch, 1949; Ricklefs, 1969; see also Grant, 1986; Birkhead & Møller, 1992; Martin, 1995, 2004; Hansell, 2000).”
Is a new paradigm emerging for oceanic island biogeography? (2007, background): “biogeography emphasizes adaptive radiation, this was classically the source of much attention (Darwin, 1859; Wallace, 1880; Lack, 1947), and recent studies are again focusing on this”
Synthetic analyses of phenotypic selection in natural populations: lessons, limitations and future directions (2012, background): “a result, measures of selection can be biased by the effects of environment, condition, and nutrition (Price et al. 1988; Schluter et al. 1991; Rausher 1992; Stinchcombe et al. 2002; Kruuk et al. 2003).”
A comprehensive framework for global patterns in biodiversity (2004, background): “…the Greater Antilles (Losos & Schluter 2000), and the similar influence of allopatric speciation on adaptive radiation and island diversity in Darwin’s finches in the Galápagos archipelago (Lack 1947; Grant 1986) and honeycreepers in the Hawaiian Islands (Amadon 1950; Fleischer & McIntosh 2001).”
Cultural traditions and the evolution of reproductive isolation: ecological speciation in killer whales? (2012, background): “This means that a culturally inherited trait could play a crucial role in speciation by promoting genetic isolation on secondary contact (Grant & Grant, 1996, 2009, 2010).”
Area and the rapid radiation of Hawaiian Bidens (Asteraceae) (2012, background): “Remote islands have played a central role in the development of evolutionary theory, particularly with regard to the factors responsible for speciation and adaptive radiation (Darwin, 1859; Lack, 1947; Carlquist, 1974; Schluter, 2000).”
Adaptive Radiation: Contrasting Theory with Data (2009, background): “, (9, 49)], divergent adaptive evolution occurred in allopatric populations that adapted to different ecological niches and thus incidentally evolved reproductive isolation.”
Body size evolution in insular vertebrates: generality of the island rule (2005, background): “On the other hand, some relatively small birds such as wrens and possibly fruit pigeons tend to exhibit gigantism on islands (Williamson, 1981; McNab, 1994a,b; Grant, 1998) while larger birds such as rails, ducks and ratites tend toward insular dwarfism (Wallace, 1857; Lack, 1947; Greenway, 1967; We”
Bite performance and morphology in a population of Darwin's finches: implications for the evolution of beak shape (2005, background): “Darwin’s finches of the Galápagos Islands are well known for the diversity they express in beak form and function (Lack 1947; Bowman 1961; Grant 1999).”
