Abstract excerpt
Interspecies hybrid sterility has been extensively studied, especially in the genus Drosophila. Hybrid sterility is more often found in the heterogametic (XY or ZW) sex, a trend called Haldane's rule. Although this phenomenon is pervasive, identification of a common genetic mechanism remains elusive, with modest support found for a range of potential theories. Here, we identify a single precise morphological...
