Natural selection in action during speciation.
The role of natural selection in speciation, first described by Darwin, has finally been widely accepted. Yet, the nature and time course of the genetic changes that result in speciation remain mysterious. To date, genetic analyses of speciation have focused almost exclusively on retrospective analyses of reproductive isolation between species or subspecies and on hybrid sterility or inviabilit...
متن کاملNatural selection and speciation.
A paper by Korol et al. (1) in this issue demonstrates significant premating reproductive divergence between Drosophila melanogaster populations adapted to distinct, but closely adjacent, habitats in ‘‘Evolution Canyon’’ on Mt. Carmel, Israel. The authors suggest that reproductive isolation has evolved in situ as a result of adaptive divergence in response to the contrasting environments of nor...
متن کاملNatural Selection and Ecological Speciation in Sticklebacks
The idea that selection may be fundamental to the origin of species dates back at least to the synthesis of modern evolutionary theory, being present in the writings of Fisher (1930), Muller (1942), and Dobzhansky (1951). Nevertheless, despite almost three-quarters of a century since the idea was first proposed, little progress has been made in testing the role of selection in speciation (Coyne...
متن کاملModeling Natural Action Selection
Neurophysiological evidence due to Schall,Newsome and others indicates that decision proc-esses in certain cortical areas (e.g. FEF and LIP)involve the integration of noisy evidence. Withinthis paradigm, we ask which neuronal architecturesand parameter values would allow an animal tomake the fastest and most accurate decisions. Sinceevolutionary pressure promotes suc...
متن کاملNatural selection and parallel speciation in sympatric sticklebacks.
Natural selection plays a fundamental role in most theories of speciation, but empirical evidence from the wild has been lacking. Here the post-Pleistocene radiation of threespine sticklebacks was used to infer natural selection in the origin of species. Populations of sticklebacks that evolved under different ecological conditions show strong reproductive isolation, whereas populations that ev...
