Waiting time to (and duration of) parapatric speciation
Sergey Gavrilets
Using a weak migration and weak mutation approximation, I study the average waiting time to and the average duration of parapatric speciation. The description of reproductive isola…
Dynamics of clade diversification on the morphological hypercube
Sergey Gavrilets
Understanding the relationship between taxonomic and morphological changes is important in identifying the reasons for accelerated morphological diversification early in the histor…
Rapid parapatric speciation on holey adaptive landscapes
Sergey Gavrilets, Hai Li, Michael D. Vose
A classical view of speciation is that reproductive isolation arises as a by-product of genetic divergence. Here, individual-based simulations are used to evaluate whether the mech…
A dynamical theory of speciation on holey adaptive landscapes
Sergey Gavrilets
The metaphor of holey adaptive landscapes provides a pictorial representation of the process of speciation as a consequence of genetic divergence. In this metaphor, biological popu…
