- Recent divergence
- Distinct species with no ongoing gene flow but incomplete lineage sorting
given that we are dealing with distinct species, with a region of overlap and no apparent physical barrier to gene flow:
Hypothesis 3 Hypothesis 4
there has been NO historical barrier there HAS been a historical barrier
to gene flow to gene flow with secondary contact
Comparing ecological niches
null distribution
obs value
there has been NO historical barrier there HAS been a historical barrier
to gene flow to gene flow with secondary contact
PAST barrier to gene flow with secondary contact:
Species are linked to drainage systems
- generalist morphologies
- generic (flexible and successful!) characters
- large/massive effective population sizes, intraspecific variation
- ecological adaptation/specialisation
- phylogeography
- evolution in response to historical processes (climate, vicariance etc)
