A recombination suppressor contributes to ecological speciation in OSTRINIA moths.

Heredity - 1 Jun 2015

Abstract excerpt

Despite unparalleled access to species' genomes in our post-genomic age, we often lack adequate biological explanations for a major hallmark of the speciation process-genetic divergence. In the presence of gene flow, chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions are thought to promote divergence and facilitate speciation by suppressing recombination. Using a combination of genetic crosses, phenotyping of a trait...
