Song as a behavioural pre-mating barrier in early population divergence: Insights from the Canary Islands Chaffinch

The paper tests if song divergence between two populations of Canary Islands Chaffinches acts as a pre-mating barrier, finding weak behavioural discrimination between habitats.

Genomics of speciation in a great speciator (Aves: Zosterops) reveals the roles of both natural and sexual selection

The paper identifies barrier loci in Zosterops species by analyzing genomic differentiation across divergence stages, showing Z chromosome involvement and roles of natural and sexual selection in reproductive isolation.

Local adaptation and sexual selection drive intra-island diversification in a songbird lineage: differential divergence in autosomes and sex chromosomes.

The paper examines divergence in a songbird lineage on Reunion Island, finding natural selection drives highland adaptation while sexual selection on sex chromosomes differentiates lowland forms.
