  1. Abstract The diversity of life forms that surround us formed through a variety of processes. Speciation researchers use a suite of comparative approaches to understand both the generalities and the variance underpinning this diversification. Here, we summarize these approaches and what they have taught us, and we then apply them to understand speciation in the night lizards Xantusia, a genus of small lizards found in the arid regions of western North America. Although Xantusia species span both a range of phenotypic and genetic divergence, we find that speciation in Xantusia appears to be a predictable consequence of divergence in extended periods of allopatry. We conclude by identifying possible areas of growth for comparative studies of speciation.
