Abstract excerpt
Understanding the phenotypic and genetic architecture of reproductive isolation is a long-standing goal of speciation research. In several systems, large-effect loci contributing to barrier phenotypes have been characterized, but such causal connections are rarely known for more complex genetic architectures. In this study, we combine "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches with demographic modelling toward an...
