Genetics and speciation Page 1 REVIEW ARTICLE Genetics and speciation Jerry A. Coyne
Called the “mystery of mysteries" by Darwin, speciation is still a little-understood area of …

The last decade has brought renewed interest in the genetics of speciation, yielding a
number of new models and empirical results. Defining speciation as 'the origin of …

The large body of theory on speciation with gene flow has brought to light fundamental
differences in the effects of two types of mating rules on speciation: preference/trait rules, in …

An important empirical test of the theoretical predictions of sexual selection theory, this book
presents a long-term field study of the monagamous barn swallow. By using information on …

Chemosensory speciation is characterized by the evolution of barriers to genetic exchange
that involve chemosensory systems and chemical signals. Here, we review some …

Mate finding in most moth species involves long-distance signaling via female-emitted sex
pheromones. There is a great diversity of pheromone structures used throughout the …

Variation among females in mate choice may influence evolution by sexual selection. The
genetic basis of this variation is of interest because the elaboration of mating preferences …

Sex pheromone communication, acting as a prezygotic barrier to mating, is believed to have
contributed to the speciation of moths and butterflies in the order Lepidoptera. Five decades …

Pheromone-based behaviours are crucial in animals from insects to mammals,, and
reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences,,,. However, the genetic …

Although sexual isolation is one of the most important causes of speciation, its genetic basis
is largely unknown. Here evidence is presented that suggests that sexual isolation between …
