text: Kerstin Johannesson is a marine ecologist and evolutionary biologist based
at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory of the University of Gothenburg, which is situated
in the beautiful Kosterhavet National Park on the Swedish west coast. Her work,
using marine periwinkles (especially Littorina saxatilis and L. fabalis) as main
model systems, has made a remarkable contribution to marine evolutionary biology
and our understanding of local adaptation and its genetic underpinnings.

text: Hybrid speciation—the origin of new species resulting from the hybridization
of genetically divergent lineages—was once considered rare, but genomic data suggest
that it may occur more often than once thought. In this study, Noguerales and
Ortego found genomic evidence supporting the hybrid origin of a grasshopper that
is able to exploit a broader range of host plants than either of its putative
parents.

text: Chromosomal inversions have been shown to play a major role in a local adaptation
by suppressing recombination between alternative arrangements and maintaining
beneficial allele combinations. However, so far, their importance relative to
the remaining genome remains largely unknown. Understanding the genetic architecture
of adaptation requires better estimates of how loci of different effect sizes
contribute to phenotypic variation. Here, we used three Swedish islands where
the marine snail Littorina saxatilis has repeatedly evolved into two distinct
ecotypes along a habitat transition. We estimated the contribution of inversion
polymorphisms to phenotypic divergence while controlling for polygenic effects
in the remaining genome using a quantitative genetics framework. We confirmed
the importance of inversions but showed that contributions of loci outside inversions
are of similar magnitude, with variable proportions dependent on the trait and
the population. Some inversions showed consistent effects across all sites, whereas
others exhibited site-specific effects, indicating that the genomic basis for
replicated phenotypic divergence is only partly shared. The contributions of sexual
dimorphism as well as environmental factors to phenotypic variation were significant
but minor compared to inversions and polygenic background. Overall, this integrated
approach provides insight into the multiple mechanisms contributing to parallel
phenotypic divergence.

text: Reproductive isolation (RI) is a core concept in evolutionary biology. It
has been the central focus of speciation research since the modern synthesis and
is the basis by which biological species are defined. Despite this, the term is
used in seemingly different ways, and attempts to quantify RI have used very different
approaches. After showing that the field lacks a clear definition of the term,
we attempt to clarify key issues, including what RI is, how it can be quantified
in principle, and how it can be measured in practice. Following other definitions
with a genetic focus, we propose that RI is a quantitative measure of the effect
that genetic differences between populations have on gene flow. Specifically,
RI compares the flow of neutral alleles in the presence of these genetic differences
to the flow without any such differences. RI is thus greater than zero when genetic
differences between populations reduce the flow of neutral alleles between populations.
We show how RI can be quantified in a range of scenarios. A key conclusion is
that RI depends strongly on circumstances—including the spatial, temporal and
genomic context—making it difficult to compare across systems. After reviewing
methods for estimating RI from data, we conclude that it is difficult to measure
in practice. We discuss our findings in light of the goals of speciation research
and encourage the use of methods for estimating RI that integrate organismal and
genetic approaches.
