Speciation in a ring.

Nature - 18 Jan 2001

Irwin D E, Bensch S, Price T D

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary divergence of a single species into two has never been directly observed in nature, primarily because speciation can take a long time to occur. A ring species, in which a chain of intergrading populations encircles a barrier and the terminal forms coexist without interbreeding, provides a situation in which variation in space can be used to infer variation in time. Here we reconstruct the pathway...
