Journal Article
THE ROLE OF REINFORCEMENT IN SPECIATION: Theory and Data
2003
Overview
To assess the frequency and importance of reinforcement in nature we must
begin by looking for its signature in the most likely places. Theoretical
studies can pinpoint conditions that favor and inhibit reinforcement, and
empirical studies can identify both how often these conditions occur and
whether reinforcement results. We examine how well these tools have addressed
these questions by searching for gaps and mismatches in theoretical and
empirical studies of reinforcement. We concentrate on five areas: (
a
) a
broad assessment of selection against interspecific mating, (
b
) the mode
and genetic basis of nonrandom mating, (
c
) the geography of speciation,
(
d
) divergent selection on mating cues, (
e
) and the genetics of
reproductive isolation. We conclude that reinforcement has probably not been
looked for where it is most likely to occur. We pinpoint however, many further
areas of study that may ultimately provide a strong assessment of the
importance of reinforcement in speciation.
