Radiating on oceanic islands: patterns and processes of speciation in the land snail genus Theba (Risso 1826).
Island radiations have played a major role in shaping our current understanding of allopatric, sympatric and parapatric speciation. However, the fact that species divergence correlates with island size emphasizes the importance of geographic isolation (allopatry) in speciation. Based on molecular an...
