Abstract excerpt
Geographic isolation is widely viewed as a key component of insular radiations on islands. However, strong ecological affinities may also reinforce isolation and promote genetic divergence. The black fly fauna in the Society Islands French Polynesia is notable for the number of closely related endemic species (31), and the morphological and habitat diversity of the larvae. Here, we measure ecological and...
