Natural selection and the reinforcement of mate recognition.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 20 Oct 2000

Higgie M, Chenoweth S, Blows M W

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection on mate recognition may often contribute to speciation, resulting in reproductive character displacement. Field populations of Drosophila serrata display reproductive character displacement in cuticular hydrocarbons when sympatric with Drosophila birchii. We exposed field sympatric and allopatric populations of D. serrata to experimental sympatry with D. birchii for nine generations. Cuticular...
