The herring gull complex is not a ring species.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 May 2004

Liebers Dorit, de Knijff Peter, Helbig Andreas J

Abstract excerpt

Under what circumstances speciation in sexually reproducing animals can occur without geographical disjunction is still controversial. According to the ring-species model, a reproductive barrier may arise through 'isolation by distance' when peripheral populations of a species meet after expanding around some uninhabitable barrier. The classical example of this kind of speciation is the herring gull (Larus...
