An X chromosome effect responsible for asymmetric reproductive isolation between male Drosophila virilis and heterospecific females.

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive isolation between closely related species is expressed through uncoordinated courtship, failed fertilization, and (or) postzygotic barriers. Behavioural components of mating often form an initial barrier to hybridization between species. In many animals, females are responsible for mating discrimination in both intra- and interspecific crosses; males of Drosophila virilis group represent an exception...
