Reinforcement during ecological speciation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 2001

Kirkpatrick M

Abstract excerpt

Reinforcement of pre-zygotic isolation can result when any of several kinds of selection act against hybrids. This paper investigates the situation where hybrids are selected against for ecological reasons, for example when there is no niche for individuals that are phenotypically intermediate between the parental species. The calculations here show how much ecological selection can lead to the reinforcement of a...
