New MEC study led by @joaquinortego.bsky.social on a radiation of alpine grasshoppers shows high endemism at southern latitudes, while connectivity in the north maintains wider ranges. @ebdonana.bsky.social @evobiouppsala.bsky.social @wileyecology.bsky.social 🔗: buff.ly/bJzyYML 📷: Marina Trillo

Using as a model system the charismatic grasshopper radiation 'Chorthippus binotatus species complex', @joaquinortego.bsky.social and I aim to improve our understanding of the evolutionary and ecological processes driving genomic divergence and hybridisation in montane hotspots of biodiversity.

📣 New publication in @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social with @joaquinortego.bsky.social ! "Mountain speciation driven by high rates of lineage formation and rapid evolution of partial reproductive isolation" doi.org/10.1093/zool... @ebdonana.bsky.social @invest-ull.bsky.social @linneansociety.bsky.social
