The counterintuitive role of sexual selection in species maintenance and speciation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Jun 2014

Servedio Maria R, Bürger Reinhard

Abstract excerpt

The pronounced and elaborate displays that often differ between closely related animal species have led to the common assumption that sexual selection is important in speciation, especially in geographically separated populations. We use population genetic models to examine the ability of Fisherian sexual selection to contribute to lasting species differentiation by isolating its effect after the onset of gene...
