Sexual selection and speciation.

The power of sexual selection to drive changes in mate recognition traits gives it the potential to be a potent force in speciation. Much of the evidence to support this possibility comes from comparative studies that examine differences in the number of species between clades that apparently differ in the intensity of sexual selection. We argue that more detailed studies are needed, examining ...

Natural 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...

Speciation by natural and sexual selection: models and experiments.

A large number of mathematical models have been developed that show how natural and sexual selection can cause prezygotic isolation to evolve. This article attempts to unify this literature by identifying five major elements that determine the outcome of speciation caused by selection: a form of disruptive selection, a form of isolating mechanism (assortment or a mating preference), a way to tr...

Ecology, sexual selection and speciation.

The spectacular diversity in sexually selected traits among animal taxa has inspired the hypothesis that divergent sexual selection can drive speciation. Unfortunately, speciation biologists often consider sexual selection in isolation from natural selection, even though sexually selected traits evolve in an ecological context: both preferences and traits are often subject to natural selection....

Sexual Selection, Space, and Speciation.

A Fisherian model of sexual selection is combined with a diffusion model of mate dispersal to investigate the evolution of assortative mating in a sympatric population. Females mate with one of two types of polygynous males according to a male's display of one of two sex-limited, autosomal traits; these male traits may be associated with differential phenotypic mortalities. Through a Fisherian ...
