Island Speciation Under Migration

Explore a 30-minute lecture on "Island speciation under migration" presented by Sabrina Araújo from UFPR, Brazil as part of the ICTP-SAIFR School and Workshop on the Physics of Life (March 24-30, 2025). Discover the biological mechanisms and evolutionary dynamics that drive speciation on islands when migration occurs between populations. Learn how physical and mathematical models help explain the complex interplay between geographical isolation, genetic drift, and gene flow in creating new species. Gain insights into how these evolutionary processes contribute to biodiversity patterns observed on island ecosystems.
