Genomic islands of speciation in Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 The African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (A. gambiae), provides a unique opportunity to study the evolution of reproductive isolation because it is divided into two sympatric, partially isolated subtaxa known as M form and S form ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The evolution of reproductive isolation lies at the heart of understanding the process of speciation. Of particular interest is the relationship between pre‐ and postzygotic reproductive isolation, and the genetic architecture of traits that contribute ...

Admixture of evolutionary rates across a butterfly hybrid zone
eLife, 2022 Hybridization is a major evolutionary force that can erode genetic differentiation between species, whereas reproductive isolation maintains such differentiation.

Reproductive isolation in Saccharomyces [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 Although speciation is one of the most interesting processes in evolution, the underlying causes of reproductive isolation are only partially understood in a few species. This review summarizes the results of many experiments on the reproductive isolation between yeast species of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto group. Hybrids between these species form

THE EVOLUTION OF STRONG REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION [PDF]
Evolution, 2009 Felsenstein distinguished two ways by which selection can directly strengthen isolation. First, a modifier that strengthens prezygotic isolation can be favored everywhere. This fits with the traditional view of reinforcement as an adaptation to reduce deleterious hybridization by strengthening assortative mating. Second, selection can favor association

Reproductive isolation of hybrid populations driven by genetic incompatibilities. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Despite its role in homogenizing populations, hybridization has also been proposed as a means to generate new species. The conceptual basis for this idea is that hybridization can result in novel phenotypes through recombination between the parental ...

Reproductive Isolation during Domestication [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2012 It has been hypothesized that reproductive isolation should facilitate evolution under domestication. However, a systematic comparison of reproductive barrier strength between crops and their progenitors has not been conducted to test this hypothesis. Here, we present a systematic survey of reproductive barriers between 32 economically important crop ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background An open, focal issue in evolutionary biology is how reproductive isolation and speciation are initiated; elucidation of mechanisms with empirical evidence has lagged behind theory.

Nature Communications, 2021 How ecological divergence causes reproductive isolation between populations in close contact remains poorly understood at the genomic level. This study presents a clinal investigation based on whole-genome sequencing to characterize reproductive ...
