The occurrence of parallel speciation strongly implies the action of natural selection. However, it is unclear how general a phenomena parallel speciation is since it was only shown in a small number of animal species. In particular, the adaptive process and mechanisms underlying the process of parallel speciation remain elusive. Here we used an integrative approach incorporating population genomics, common garden and crossing experiments to investigate parallel speciation of the wild rice species O. nivara from Oryza rufipogon...
