Abstract excerpt
Identification of the genes that underlie reproductive isolation provides important insights into the process of speciation. According to the Dobzhansky-Muller model, these genes suffer disrupted interactions in hybrids due to independent divergence in separate populations. In hybrid populations, natural selection acts to remove the deleterious heterospecific combinations that cause these functional disruptions....
