Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural Selection and Parallel Speciation in Sympatric Sticklebacks

TL;DR: The post-Pleistocene radiation of threespine sticklebacks was used to infer natural selection in the origin of species, and speciation has proceeded in this adaptive radiation in a repeatable fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Divergent sexual selection enhances reproductive isolation in sticklebacks.

TL;DR: It is shown that female perceptual sensitivity to red light varies with the extent of redshift in the light environment, and contributes to divergent preferences in threespine sticklebacks, demonstrating that divergent sexual selection generated by sensory drive contributes to speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

How sensory drive can promote speciation

TL;DR: The sensory drive hypothesis focuses on how communication systems adapt to local environments and predicts that divergence in communication systems will occur when environments differ, and Reproductive isolation can arise as a byproduct of this adaptive divergence in behavior.
