Geographic distributions that capture some aspects of the process of divergence, such as those that are markedly U\u2010shaped, could offer a window to identify systems undergoing incipient speciation, which have traditionally been difficult to identify.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We selected\n                      <jats:italic>Ipomoea microsepala<\/jats:italic>\n                      , a species of morning\u2010glory with a markedly U\u2010shaped distribution, as a candidate to evaluate potential incipient evolutionary divergence. We used a combination of principal component, phylogenetic, population, and correlation analyses (Mantel tests) of data derived from leaf morphometrics, climatic information, and genome\u2010wide DNA variation (RADseq) that span the whole species range to assess potential divergence in genomic, climatic, and morphological dimensions.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We showed that\n                      <jats:italic>Ipomoea microsepala<\/jats:italic>\n                      achieved its current geographic distribution through historical range expansion by successively colonizing adjacent areas in a fashion that is consistent with a stepping\u2010stone model and isolation by distance.
