BMC Plant Biology, 2012 Background Hybridization among Louisiana Irises has been well established and the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation is known to affect the potential for and the directionality of introgression between taxa. Here we use co-dominant markers to

Experimental hybridization and reproductive isolation between two sympatric species of tephritid fruit flies in the Anastrepha fraterculus species group [PDF]
, 2017 Among tephritid fruit flies, hybridzation has been found to produce local adaptationand speciation, and in the case of pest species, induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest management. The fraterculus species

Evolutionarily diverged regulation of X-chromosomal genes as a primal event in mouse reproductive isolation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Improper gene regulation is implicated in reproductive isolation, but its genetic and molecular bases are unknown. We previously reported that a mouse inter-subspecific X chromosome substitution strain shows reproductive isolation characterized by male ...

Selection and environmental adaptation along a path to speciation in the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri. [PDF]
, 2018 Tibetan frogs, Nanorana parkeri, are differentiated genetically but not morphologically along geographical and elevational gradients in a challenging environment, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate processes leading to speciation. Analyses of

Evolution of reproductive isolation in plants [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 Reproductive isolation is essential for the process of speciation and much has been learned in recent years about the ecology and underlying genetics of reproductive barriers. But plant species are typically isolated not by a single factor, but by a large number of different pre- and postzygotic barriers, and their potentially complex interactions ...

The Cost Of Reinforcement: Selection On Flower Color In Allopatric Populations Of Phlox Drummondii* [PDF]
, 2014 Reinforcement is the process by which increased reproductive isolation between incipient species evolves due to selection against maladaptive hybrids or costly hybrid mating.

MODELS OF EVOLUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION [PDF]
Genetics, 1983 ABSTRACT Mathematical models are presented for the evolution of postmating and premating reproductive isolation. In the case of postmating isolation it is assumed that hybrid sterility or inviability is caused by incompatibility of alleles at one or two loci, and evolution of reproductive isolation occurs by random fixation of different ...
