Abstract excerpt
Secondary contact between incompletely isolated species can produce a wide variety of outcomes. The vinegar flies Drosophila simulans and D. sechellia diverged on islands in the Indian Ocean and are currently separated by partial pre- and postzygotic barriers. The recent discovery of hybridization between D. simulans and D. sechellia in the wild presents an opportunity to monitor the prevalence of alleles that...
