The role of linkage disequilibrium in the evolution of premating isolation.

Abstract excerpt

The suggestion that speciation may often occur, or be completed, in the presence of gene flow has long been contentious, due to an appreciation of the challenges to maintaining population- or species-specific gene combinations when gene flow is occurring. Linkage disequilibrium between loci involved in postzygotic and premating isolation must often be built and maintained as the source of these species-specific...
