Emergent speciation by multiple

چکیده
The Dobzhansky–Muller model posits that incompatibilities between alleles at different loci 5 cause speciation. However, it is known that if the alleles involved in a Dobzhansky–Muller 6 incompatibility (DMI) between two loci are neutral, the resulting reproductive isolation cannot 7 be maintained in the presence of either mutation or gene flow. Here we propose that speciation 8 can emerge through the collective effects of multiple neutral DMIs that cannot, individually, 9 cause speciation—a mechanism we call emergent speciation. We investigate emergent speciation 10 using a haploid neutral network model with recombination. We find that certain combinations 11 of multiple neutral DMIs can lead to speciation. Complex DMIs and high recombination rate 12 between the DMI loci facilitate emergent speciation. These conditions are likely to occur in 13 nature. We conclude that the interaction between DMIs may be a root cause of the origin of 14 species. 15

Speciation of heavy metals in coastal water of Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf
Fuel storage tanks are one of the main sources of water pollution as well as loss of crude oil and oil products in refineries. In the process of utilization of these tanks, considerable amounts of hydrocarbons may find their way into the coastal water, which eventually lead to loss of valuable hydrocarbons. Oil type, climatic condition and characteristics of oil tanks are among the main variab...
متن کاملThe Emergence of Diversity and Stability: from Biological Systems to Machine Learning
The observation of emergent properties of biological systems has been the inspiration of successful technologies opening new fields of computer science like artificial neural nets, swarm intelligence algorithms, evolutive algorithms, etc. In this work we focus on the emergence of negative feedback cycles: self-regulatory mechanisms able to react to alterations of some environmental parameters (...
