Abstract excerpt
We present a quantitative genetic (QG) interpretation of the Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller (BDM) genetic model of speciation in order to unify the theoretical framework for understanding how the genetic differentiation of populations is associated with the process of speciation. Specifically, we compare the QG theory of joint scaling with the Turelli-Orr mathematical formulation of the BDM model. By formally linking...
