Abstract excerpt
Despite numerous studies of speciation on oceanic islands, few insights exist on the genetic changes involved in the origin and diversification of island taxa. Here we report a genetic analysis of the evolutionary change in sex expression in Hawaiian Tetramolopium. The most diverse clade in the genus is characterized by a monoecious breeding system. The breeding system resulted from a change in sex expression in...
