Efficient Maximum-Likelihood Inference For The Isolation-With-Initial-Migration Model With Potentially Asymmetric Gene Flow

This paper develops a fast maximum-likelihood method for the IIM model to infer gene flow during speciation, showing it can distinguish evolutionary scenarios and handle asymmetric gene flow and unequal population sizes.

Hybrid asexuality as a primary reproductive barrier: on the interconnection between asexuality and speciation

The paper shows hybrid asexuality can act as a primary reproductive barrier in speciation, emerging before other postzygotic incompatibilities in Cobitis loaches and other fish species.
