Genetic tests for ecological and allopatric speciation in anoles on an island archipelago. by Roger S Thorpe, Yann Surget-Groba, Helena Johansson

“…The degree of genetic interchange shows that while there is always a significant genetic signature of past allopatry, and this may be quite strong if the selection regime allows, there is no case of complete allopatric speciation, in spite of the strong primae facie case for it. …”

Genetic evidence for allopatric speciation of the Siberian ibex Capra sibirica in India by Dutt Joshi, B, Jabin, G, Sharief, A, Kumar, V, Mukherjee, T, Kumar, M, Singh, A, Kumar Singh, S, Chandra, K, Sharma, LK, Thakur, M

“…Montane systems, formed by a series of climatic oscillations and temporal topographic metamorphoses, have broken up the contiguous distribution of widespread species and accelerated allopatric speciation. We used a partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene to address speciation across the entire range of the Siberian ibex Capra sibirica. …”
