Abstract excerpt
Members of Rhogeessa are hypothesized to have undergone speciation via chromosomal rearrangements in a model termed speciation by monobrachial centric fusions. Recently, mitochondrial cytochrome-b sequence data tentatively supported this hypothesis but could not explicitly test the model's expectations regarding interbreeding among karyotypic forms. These data showed potential evidence for hybridization or...
