The evolutionary forces maintaining a wild polymorphism of Littorina saxatilis: model selection by computer simulations.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

Two rocky shore ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis from north-west Spain live at different shore levels and habitats and have developed an incomplete reproductive isolation through size assortative mating. The system is regarded as an example of sympatric ecological speciation. Several experiments have indicated that different evolutionary forces (migration, assortative mating and habitat-dependent selection) play a...
