DESCRIPTION:Biologists have a good understanding of the evolutionary proce
 sses required to generate divergence between populations\, yet the relativ
 e importance of different processes is debated. Silvereyes are excellent i
 sland colonisers\, with numerous forms at varying stages of divergence acr
 oss the south Pacific region. These forms can be considered proxies for ea
 rly stages of the speciation continuum. Using phenotypic and genomic data\
 , I examine how divergence proceeds and how processes of selection\, drift
  and gene flow contribute to their divergence.
