Abstract excerpt
Understanding the mechanisms underlying fast diversifications is central to evolutionary biology. This can be partly achieved by focusing on intrinsic reproductive barriers that emerge during early stages of divergence in fast-radiating groups. Here, we explored the mechanisms underlying the divergence of two ecotypes of the Dianthus rupicola complex, which belong to the Eurasian clade of the hyperdiverse genus...
