Strong genomewide divergence between sympatric European river and brook lampreys
Mateus, Catarina Sofia; Stange, Madlen; Berner, Daniel; Roesti, Marius; Quintella, Bernardo Ruivo; Alves, Maria Judite; Almeida, Pedro RaposoLampreys, together with hagfishes, are the only extant representatives of jawless vertebrates and thus of prime interest for the study of vertebrate evolution [1]. Most lamprey genera occur in two forms with divergent life histories: a parasitic, anadromous and a non-parasitic, freshwater resident form [2-8]. The taxonomic status of such 'paired species' is disputed, however. While indistinguishable at larval s...
Reply to "Re-evaluating the evidence for facilitation of stickleback speciation...
Berner, Daniel; Lucek, Kay; Sousa, Vitor C; Excoffier, Laurent; Seehausen, OleA Matters Arising article1 raised concerns about the interpretation of our findings reported in our recent publication on admixture-facilitated ecological speciation in Lake Constance stickleback2. After careful consideration of the criticism, including additional analyses testing the proposed alternative hypotheses, we can confirm our confidence in the inference of secondary contact between a West European and...
