Early events in speciation: polymorphism for hybrid male sterility in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Jun 2004

Reed Laura K, Markow Therese A

Abstract excerpt

Capturing the process of speciation early enough to determine the initial genetic causes of reproductive isolation remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. We have found, to our knowledge, the first example of substantial intraspecific polymorphism for genetic factors contributing to hybrid male sterility. Specifically, we show that the occurrence of hybrid male sterility in crosses between Drosophila...
