Abstract excerpt
Secondary contact before the completion of reproductive isolation can alter speciation trajectories by impeding divergence through gene flow or accelerating it via reinforcement. Using genomic data, we investigated secondary contact between two pairs of Copsychus (Muscicapidae) lineages in Borneo: subspecies of magpie-robins (C. saularis) and two species of shamas (C. malabaricus and C. stricklandii). Although...
