This table provides lookup details for all neighbor sequences from BLAST and SILVA-ACT comparisons used in the tree from Figure 3 (main paper). In the tree, sequences are named after the isolation sou
Sensory cues exchanged during courtship are crucial for mate choice: if they show intraspecific divergence, this may cause or reinforce sexual isolation between strains, ultimately leading to speciati
