Interspecific competition promotes habitat and morphological divergence in a secondary contact zone between two hybridizing songbirds.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2018

Sottas Camille, Reif Jiří, Kuczyński Lechosław, Reifová Radka

Abstract excerpt

Interspecific competition is assumed to play an important role in the ecological differentiation of species and speciation. However, empirical evidence for competition's role in speciation remains surprisingly scarce. Here, we studied the role of interspecific competition in the ecological differentiation and speciation of two closely related songbird species, the Common Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) and...
