Abstract
In this dissertation, I propose a population-level framework that integrates ecology and population genetics to rethink the mechanisms that promote divergence. To accomplish that I studied two southern African endemic Cercotrichas scrub-robins: C. coryphaeus and C. signata. Despite its phylogenetic proximity the two study species occupy the two ends of the habitat spectrum available in southern Africa: semi-arid Karoo vs. Forest.
