Species recognition and patterns of population variation in the reproductive structures of a damselfly genus.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2011

McPeek Mark A, Symes Laurel B, Zong Denise M, McPeek Curtis L

Abstract excerpt

The selection pressures imposed by mate choice for species identity should impose strong stabilizing selection on traits that confer species identity to mates. Thus, we expect that such traits should show nonoverlapping distributions among closely related species, but show little to no variance among populations within a species. We tested these predictions by comparing levels of population differentiation in the...
