Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Speciation remains a core and contentious topic within evolutionary biology. One important aspect of speciation is the genetic basis of the changes involved in this process. Advances in sequencing and other technologies have allowed us to address questions regarding the process that were previously intractable. These advances have also paved novel avenues of research and generated new questions.
In this Special Issue, we invite reviews, perspectives, and research papers that contribute to our understanding of the evolutionary genetics of speciation. Theoretical, simulation-based, meta-analyses, and new empirical studies are welcome. Interdisciplinary approaches are welcome. Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following: the genetic basis of traits related to reproductive isolation, gene expression in hybrid speciation, determining the geographic milieu of the evolution of reproductive isolation, how the microbiota affects the speciation process, and the landscape genetics of speciation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
