News Finding: aEURoeSequential speciation identifies the fact that adaptation and speciation of one species is not an isolated process.
Paper Finding: Similar relationships between multiple microsatellites and eclosion time were found for Rhagoletis and D. alloeum .
News Context: That work showed that changes in feeding and mating habits of Rhagoletis are driving it to become two different species. aEURoeSequential speciation identifies the fact that adaptation and speciation of one species is not an isolated process. The appearance of a new species creates new niche opportunities that can be exploited by other species, and that opportunity can promote the origin of other new species.aEUR
  
  Rhagoletis is in the act of evolving into two species.
Paper Context: Overall, a significant stepwise multiple regression was found between seven loci for females (r = 0.49; P < 0.0001) and six for males (r = 0.40; P = 0.03) with eclosion time. Similar relationships between multiple microsatellites and eclosion time were found for Rhagoletis and D. alloeum . Three microsatellite loci for females (DM18, DM25, DM61) and five loci for males (DM18, DJ19, DM28, DM33, DM36) displayed significant genotype or genotype × host effects with eclosion time (Table S6) .
