Population structure attributable to reproductive time: isolation by time and adaptation by time.

Abstract excerpt

Many populations are composed of a mixture of individuals that reproduce at different times, and these times are often heritable. Under these conditions, gene flow should be limited between early and late reproducers, even within populations having a unimodal temporal distribution of reproductive activity. This temporal restriction on gene flow might be called "isolation by time" (IBT) to acknowledge its analogy...
