Each year Methods in Ecology and Evolution awards the Robert May Prize to the best paper in the journal by an author at the start of their career. Claudio S. Quilodrán has been shortlisted for his article ‘The multiple population genetic and demographic routes to islands of genomic divergence’. In this blog, Claudio and co-author Ashley T. Sendell-Price discuss how their paper came to be and how their individual‐based simulation can be used to explore the dynamics of diverging genomes.
