In this thesis I attempt to better understand the general role played by adaptive ecological divergence in the evolution of new species. For the past two decades, evolutionary ecologists have largely viewed diversification through the lens of ecological theory of adaptive radiation (ETAR), an intuitive and influential synthesis in which divergent natural selection is the ultimate engine of biodiversity. Evidence for the theory's main tenets has been reported in several detailed studies, leading many authors to suggest that adaptive radiation is a generally important mechanism in diversification. But much of this evidence is derived from the study of naturally occurring model systems that reside in conditions that may be especially favourable to rapid ecological divergence. Newly-discovered patterns of morphological and genetic diversity in non-model taxa, meanwhile, appear to contradict some expectations of this framework, calling into question whether the dynamics observed in model systems can in fact scale up to explain non-model diversity. It is thus unclear if our leading model of diversification applies in the complex ecological theatres in which diversity most typically arises. To address this problem, I design and deploy new statistical tools for studying divergence between speciating and recently speciated lineages (i.e. sister taxa). With these tools, I assess broader support for alternative hypotheses regarding two key processes in the diversification cycle: speciation and the evolution of coexistence between close relatives.
