Does reproductive isolation evolve faster in larger populations via sexually antagonistic coevolution?

Biology letters - 23 Oct 2009

Gay L, Eady P E, Vasudev R, Hosken D J, Tregenza T

Abstract excerpt

Sexual conflict over reproductive investment can lead to sexually antagonistic coevolution and reproductive isolation. It has been suggested that, unlike most models of allopatric speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation through sexually antagonistic coevolution will occur faster in large populations as these harbour greater levels of standing genetic variation, receive larger numbers of mutations and...
