Next Monday at 2PM we will be discussing a review of speciation in Ficedula flycatchers from a special issue of Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B on the “genomics of speciation” [doi link].  Decades of intense work on Ficedula provides much fodder for discussion.  Given that the paper is a review, I was going to suggest we read a companion paper with original research; however, I think it might be more interesting if everyone makes a point to check out one or two cited papers that they find particularly intriguing.  (Given our recent discussions of reinforcement, I’m personally keen to check out Servedio et al.’s 2009 paper on reinforcement and learning from a special issue of Evolutionary Ecology on “speciation: from diversification to reproductive isolation.”)
