FIGURE 3

A conceptual and analytical framework to study ecological speciation in the tropics based on genetic, genomic and non-genetic data and simulation modeling (see text for details). The upper boxes show approaches that when integrated can improve understanding of ecologically mediated selection. The middle boxes show the main methods and types of data, whereas the bottom boxes show expected outcomes. The diagram exemplifies a single-taxon study but it can also be extended to comparative surveys. This framework can be applied to other ecosystems.
