Genetic divergence is decoupled from ecological diversification in the Hawaiian Nesosydne planthoppers.

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive radiation involves ecological shifts coupled with isolation of gene pools. However, we know little about what drives the initial stages of divergence. We study a system in which ecological diversification is found within a chronologically well-defined geological matrix to provide insight into this enigmatic phase of radiation. We tested the hypothesis that a period of geographic isolation precedes...
