  "summary": "Mangroves are physiologically stressful environments that experience daily fluctuations in salinity and inundation. While these dynamic conditions have been associated with various morphological adaptations in mangrove-dwelling fauna, few studies have examined whether faunal specialisation in mangroves drives the evolution of reproductive isolation. We combined phylogeographic and phylogenomic…",
