Herbicides as anthropogenic drivers of eco-evo feedbacks in plant communities at the agro-ecological interface.

abstract：:During the process of ecological speciation, reproductive isolation results from divergent natural selection and leads to a positive correlation between genetic divergence and adaptive phenotypic divergence, that is, isolation by adaptation (IBA). In natural populations, phenotypic differentiation is often autocorrela...
