Genetics of species differences in sailfin and shortfin mollies.

Heredity - 1 Oct 2010

Loveless S A, Bridges W C, Ptacek M B

Abstract excerpt

Premating reproductive isolation is a strong barrier to hybridization in natural populations, but little is known about the genetic mechanisms that allow changes in mating signals to develop and whether different components of a mating signal can evolve in concert when sexual selection favors phenotypic associations between them. In this study, we report results suggesting that changes in a behavioural trait...
