Are traits that experience reinforcement also under sexual selection?

The American naturalist - 1 Sept 2007

Higgie Megan, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

Where closely related species occur in sympatry, reinforcement may result in the evolution of traits involved in species recognition that are at the same time used for within-species mate choice. Drosophila serrata lives in forested habitat on the east coast of Australia, and over the northern ha...
