Thank you for adding that! Orr & Turelli (2001) on the evolution of DMI is such an important theoretical advance.

Oh yes, Endler 1977! Thank you for adding that monograph.

Excellent additions! Gavrilets' 1997 paper (and the 2004 book) made speciation seem much more probable than the old Wrightian landscape suggested. And yes to Barton & Bengtsson (1986). I'd probably also add Barton & Hewitt (1985) on hybrid zones.

Thank you for adding the link! Felsenstein's 1981 paper is foundational.

Great point! That actually reminds me of another Lande paper I should have mentioned: Lande (1980) "Genetic variation and phenotypic evolution during allopatric speciation."
Amazing how much foundational work came out in the early 80s!

Here are my top picks:
Maynard Smith (1966) - Sympatric speciation
Felsenstein (1981) - How recombination impedes speciation
Fowler & Levin (1984) - Polyploid speciation

What other classics would you add?

This work contributes new insights into alternative reproductive tactics and protandry evolution, with implications extending beyond butterflies to other species with similar life history strategies. Congratulations to Hidaka on this achievement!

The study explores a fascinating phenomenon in a butterfly - males show two distinct emergence patterns: some emerge early, others emerge simultaneously with females. Our model reveals how male body size dimorphism creates a trade-off between emergence timing and competitive advantage.

Thank you for doing this! I'd love to be added too
