Inaugural Article: The secondary contact phase of allopatric speciation in Darwin's finches (2009, unknown): “One theory of speciation proposes a completely allopatric origin of a barrier to interbreeding with different emphases on random processes and selection (3, 5, 24, 25).”
Dynamic patterns of adaptive radiation. (2005, methodology): “Recent explosion in empirical work on speciation (7) has been accompanied by the emergence of a quantitative theory of speciation (8).”
Quantitative analyses of empirical fitness landscapes (2012, background): “For instance, the topography of the fitness landscape affects speciation via reproductive isolation [11, 12], the evolutionary benefits of sex and recombination [13, 14], the evolution of genetic robustness and evolvability [15]–[17], and the predictability of evolution [7], [18]–[20].”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “…or historical contingencies such as the phenotype of the ancestral species or the order in which different resource types themselves became diverse enough to offer the opportunity for divergent adaptation (Diamond 1986; Schluter 2000; Gavrilets 2004; Price 2010; see also Schoener 1977).”
