Ecological speciation along an elevational gradient in a tropical passerine bird?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2013

Caro L M, Caycedo-Rosales P C, Bowie R C K, Slabbekoorn H, Cadena C D

Abstract excerpt

Local adaptation of populations along elevational gradients is well known, but conclusive evidence that such divergence has resulted in the origin of distinct species in parapatry remains lacking. We integrated morphological, vocal, genetic and behavioural data to test predictions pertaining to the hypothesis of parapatric ecological speciation associated with elevation in populations of a tropical montane...
