The endemic cichlid fishes of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria are textbook examples
of explosive speciation and adaptive radiation, and their study promises to yield important …

When females are inseminated by more than one male (polyandry) sexual selection
continues after insemination in the form of sperm competition and cryptic female choice. The …

Although theory indicates that natural selection can facilitate speciation as a by-product,
demonstrating ongoing speciation via this by-product mechanism in nature has proven …

Many studies of speciation rely critically on estimates of sexual isolation obtained in the
laboratory. Here we examine the sensitivity of sexual isolation to alterations in experimental …

The potential importance of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI)-inducing bacterial symbionts in
speciation of their arthropod hosts has been debated. Theoretical advances have led to a …

The mode in which sexual organisms choose mates is a key evolutionary process, as it can
have a profound impact on fitness and speciation. One way to study mate choice in the wild …

Most studies of reinforcement have focused on the evolution of either female choice or male
mating cues, following the long‐held view in sexual selection theory that mating mastakes …

Ongoing discussion on the taxonomic status of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and
limited biological knowledge of this species emphasize a need for information on sexual …

Understanding the biological conditions and the genetic basis of early stages of sexual
isolation and speciation is an outstanding question in evolutionary biology. It is unclear how …

Background Threshold-dependent gene drives (TDGDs) could be used to spread desirable
traits through a population, and are likely to be less invasive and easier to control than …
