On the origin of species by means of assortative mating.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 1998

Kondrashov A S, Shpak M

Abstract excerpt

Assortative mating may split a population even in the absence of natural selection. Here, we study when this happens if mating depends on one or two quantitative traits. Not surprisingly, the modes of assortative mating that can cause sympatric speciation without selection are rather strict. However, some of them may occur in nature. Slow elimination of intermediate individuals caused by the gradual tightening of...
