The role of genome and gene regulatory network canalization in the evolution of multi-trait polymorphisms and sympatric speciation.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 Jul 2009

ten Tusscher Kirsten H W J, Hogeweg Paulien

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sexual reproduction has classically been considered as a barrier to the buildup of discrete phenotypic differentiation. This notion has been confirmed by models of sympatric speciation in which a fixed genetic architecture and a linear genotype phenotype mapping were assumed. In this paper we study the influence of a flexible genetic architecture and non-linear genotype phenotype map on...
