Habitat Adaptation Drives Speciation of a <i>Streptomyces</i> Species with Distinct Habitats and Disparate Geographic Origins
Jiao Wang, Yisong Li, Adrian A. Pinto‐Tomás, Kun Cheng, Ying Huang
Abstract
Both isolation by distance and isolation by environment occur in bacteria, and different diversification patterns may apply to different species. Streptomyces species, typified by producing useful natural products, are widespread in nature and possess high genetic diversity. However, the ecological processes and evolutionary mechanisms that shape their distribution are not well understood.
