Natural selection and repeated patterns of molecular evolution following allopatric divergence

Natural selection and repeated patterns of molecular evolution following allopatric divergence

Although geographic isolation is a leading driver of speciation, the tempo and pattern of divergence at the genomic level remain unclear. We examine genome-wide divergence of putatively single-copy orthologous genes (POGs) in 20 allopatric species/variety pairs from diverse angiosperm clades, with 1...
