Polymorphic butterfly reveals the missing link in ecological speciation.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 6 Nov 2009

Chamberlain Nicola L, Hill Ryan I, Kapan Durrell D, Gilbert Lawrence E, Kronforst Marcus R

Abstract excerpt

Ecological speciation occurs when ecologically based, divergent selection causes the evolution of reproductive isolation. There are many empirical examples of this process; however, there exists a poorly characterized stage during which the traits that distinguish species ecologically and reproductively segregate in a single population. By using a combination of genetic mapping, mate-choice experiments, field...
