Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities and adaptation to a shared environment.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2009

Unckless R L, Orr H A

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection might drive the evolution of postzygotic reproductive isolation even when allopatric populations adapt to identical environments, an idea first suggested by Muller (1942). Here, we analyze this scenario mathematically, focusing on the evolution of a Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibility (DMI) between populations. Our results identify a potential problem with Muller's scenario: adaptation to...
