Genetics and ecological speciation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 16 Jun 2009

Schluter Dolph, Conte Gina L

Abstract excerpt

Species originate frequently by natural selection. A general mechanism by which this occurs is ecological speciation, defined as the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations as a result of ecologically-based divergent natural selection. The alternative mechanism is mutation-order speciation in which populations fix different mutations as they adapt to similar selection pressures. Although numerous...
