Reproductive character displacement of female mate preferences for male cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila subquinaria.

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence implicate sexual isolation in both initiating and completing the speciation process. Although its existence is straightforward to demonstrate, understanding the evolution of sexual isolation requires identifying the underlying phenotypes responsible so that we can determine how these have diverged. Here, we study geographic variation in female mate preferences for male sexual displays in...
