There has been a wide diversity of theoretical work on the genetic mechanisms that promote speciation under sympatric (non-allopatric) conditions (see Thoday and Gibson, 1970; Bush, 1975; Endler, 1977; White, 1978; Futuyma and Mayer, 1980; Templeton, 1981 for review). The conclusion from this work is that sympatric speciation is genetically possible but it is not clear whether or not it has played a major role in the generation of species under natural conditions. Assessing the evolutionary…

Speciation: more likely through a genetic or through a learned habitat preference?

  • J. BeltmanJ. Metz
  • Biology, Environmental Science
    Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
  • 2005
A model where a habitat preference evolves, and that mates are chosen within the preferred habitat is presented, which shows that, when loci are completely unlinked and learning confers little cost, the presence of disruptive selection most probably leads to speciation via the simultaneous evolution of a learned habitat preference.

ASYNCHRONY OF INFECTION TIMING, HABITAT PREFERENCE, AND SYMPATRIC SPECIATION OF SCHISTOSOME PARASITES

It is now well accepted that coevolution of lineages of hosts and parasites (phylogenetic or parallel speciation), where host speciation has been accompanied by divergence of their parasites, is not the only pattern for the evolution of hostparasite associations.

Editor's coda: central themes of the symposium

The contributions to this symposium have shown that habitat selection makes some evolutionary processes competitive speciation possible, and reduces the force and importance of others, especially genetic drift.

Speciation Via Disruptive Selection on Habitat Preference: Experimental Evidence

A repetition of Thoday and Gibson's experiments with the modification that disruptive selection is applied to a trait, habitat preference, that produces positive assortative mating as a correlated character is described.

Habitat preference and the marine-speciation paradox

Genetically based variation in pre–settlement processes accounts for the ecological segregation observed, though it is not the only factor involved in limiting successful interbreeding.

RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF DISPERSAL AND NATURAL SELECTION TO THE MAINTENANCE OF A HYBRID ZONE IN LITTORINA

Migration guided by habitat preference in the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis in a hybrid zone associated with an ecotone across the shore, which is therefore a continuously varying environment, found evidence for this behavior in one of the two locations studied.

Speciation by Natural and Sexual Selection: Models and Experiments

It is shown that the geographical context of speciation can be viewed as a form of assortative mating and this provides a framework for interpreting results from laboratory experiments, which are found to agree generally with theoretical predictions about conditions that are favorable to the evolution of prezygotic isolation.

Speciation through the learning of habitat features.

Speciation through the learning of habitat features

The results show that speciation by the learning of habitat features is an extremely effective mechanism, and, furthermore, it is very general: for a large class of models there is selection toward producing young more frequently in the natal habitat.

Sympatric speciation: a simulation model

A model of mating and population growth dependent on competition that suggests circumstances under which sympatric speciation might occur is described. The model is similar to one in a companion…

Non-Allopatric Speciation in Animals

The extent to which the theory and evidence amassed since 1963 warrant a major change in views of animal speciation is reviewed, and the theory of stasipatric speciation and purported cases of sympatrics associated with a shift to a new host are reviewed.

SKEPTICISM TOWARDS SANTA ROSALIA, OR WHY ARE THERE SO FEW KINDS OF ANIMALS?

  • 1981
In a classic paper, Hutchinson (1959) set the tone for much of the ecological work done during the past 20 years by suggesting that ecologists try to explain the numbers of species of animals by explaining how the species could coexist.

Modes of Animal Speciation

Speciation is ultimately an adaptive process that involves establishment of intrin­ sic barriers to gene flow between closely related populations by development of reproductive isolating mechanisms.

MECHANISMS OF SPECIATION­ A POPULATION GENETIC APPROACH

The purpose of this review is to initiate the discussion absent in White's (234) book and much of the speciation literature and outline why it is important for population genetics and speciation theory to become integrated.

Geographic variation, speciation, and clines.

Professor Endler shows how geographic differentiation and speciation may develop in spite of continuous gene flow, and considers the interpretation of natural clines and the associated geographic patterns of subspecies and species.

The Probability of Isolation by Disruptive Selection

Conditions are discussed that may affect the probability of reproductive isolation developing in laboratory disruptive-selection experiments, and only two stocks were suitable for assessing the capacity of natural populations to respond to disruptive selection by producing isolation.

A note on assortative mating, linkage and genotypic frequencies

It is shown that in the equilibrium position with respect to the assortative mating process given by Fisher's (1918) model, the population is in linkage disequilibrium, contrary to a result given by…

The correlations between relatives are found in the equilibrium position and a general method of determining the covariance between a pair of loci is given and it is then applied to determine the parent-child correlation.
