Reproductive tract interactions contribute to isolation in Drosophila.
The process of speciation requires the development of isolating mechanisms that act as barriers to gene flow between incipient species. Such mechanisms can occur at three different levels: precopulatory or behavioral isolation, postcopulatory-prezygotic isolation occurring in the female reproductive tract, or postzygotic isolation resulting in hybrid sterility or inviability. Only by extensivel...
متن کاملComplex Deleterious Interactions Associated with Malic Enzyme May Contribute to Reproductive Isolation in the Copepod Tigriopus californicus
Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities can result from the interactions of more than a single pair of interacting genes and there are several different models of how such complex interactions can be structured. Previous empirical work has identified complex conspecific epistasis as a form of complex interaction that has contributed to postzygotic reproductive isolation between taxa, but other form...
متن کاملFloral volatile alleles can contribute to pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation in monkeyflowers (Mimulus).
Pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation is a major factor in driving the diversification of flowering plants. Studies of floral traits involved in reproductive isolation have focused nearly exclusively on visual signals, such as flower color. The role of less obvious signals, such as floral scent, has been studied only recently. In particular, the genetics of floral volatiles involved in med...
متن کاملMultiple factors contribute to reproductive isolation between two co-existing Habenaria species (Orchidaceae)
Reproductive isolation is a key feature that forms barriers to gene flow between distinct plants. In orchids, prezygotic reproductive isolation has been considered to be strong, because their associations with highly specific pollinators. In this study, the reproductive ecology and reproductive isolation of two sympatric Habenaria species, H. davidii and H. fordii, was investigated by floral ph...
متن کاملDivergence in genital morphology may contribute to mechanical reproductive isolation in a millipede
Genitalia appear to evolve rapidly and divergently in taxa with internal fertilization. The current consensus is that intense directional sexual selection drives the rapid evolution of genitalia. Recent research on the millipede Antichiropus variabilis suggests that the male genitalia are currently experiencing stabilizing selection - a pattern of selection expected for lock-and-key structures ...
