The study indicates that geographical isolation and genetic drift in small populations played a major role in species formation, while local mixed mating may have also played a significant role in early lineage diversity. 3 Evaluation of the Research This research utilized high-quality genomic data and advanced analytical methods, providing valuable insights into the formation of island biodiversity. However, direct evidence for specific adaptive traits and niche differentiation remains insufficient, areas that future research could further explore.
