Continuation of the genetic divergence of ecological speciation by spatial environmental heterogeneity in island endemic plants

Abstract Divergent selection plays a critical role not only as a speciation driver but also in maintaining post-speciation divergence. In the absence of direct evidence, ancestral interspecific gene flow between incipient species can reflect ancient selective pressure for ecological speciation. In t...
