Adaptive evolution drives divergence of a hybrid inviability gene between two species of Drosophila.

Nature - 12 Jun 2003

Presgraves Daven C, Balagopalan Lakshmi, Abmayr Susan M, Orr H Allen

Abstract excerpt

Speciation--the splitting of one species into two--occurs by the evolution of any of several forms of reproductive isolation between taxa, including the intrinsic sterility and inviability of hybrids. Abundant evidence shows that these hybrid fitness problems are caused by incompatible interactions between loci: new alleles that become established in one species are sometimes functionally incompatible with...
