Speciation genetics: evolving approaches

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2006
Much progress has been made in the past two decades in understanding Darwin's mystery of the origins of species. Applying genomic techniques to the analysis of laboratory crosses and natural populations has helped to determine the genetic basis of barriers to gene flow which create new species. Although new methodologies have not changed the prevailing

Genetic differentiation during speciation

Nature, 1978
SPECIATION theory is still largely descriptive. How many and what kind of genes are implicated in speciation is a central unresolved problem of evolutionary biology1,2. Does speciation require major genomic changes3–5 or may minor ones suffice1,6–9? Similarly, does speciation depend on structural or on regulatory genes10?

GENETIC DIVERGENCE AND HYBRID SPECIATION

Evolution, 2007
Although the evolutionary importance of natural hybridization has been debated for decades, it has become increasingly clear that hybridization plays a fundamental role in the evolution of many plant and animal taxa, sometimes resulting in the formation of entirely new species.

Competitive Speciation in Quantitative Genetic Models

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2000
We study sympatric speciation due to competition in an environment with a broad distribution of resources. We assume that the trait under selection is a quantitative trait, and that mating is assortative with respect to this trait. Our model alternates selection according to Lotka-Volterra-type competition equations, with reproduction using the ideas ...
