The Kaneshiro model proposes a role for sexual selection in peripatric speciation. During population bottlenecks, derived males lose attractive traits and become discriminated against by ancestral females, whereas derived females are selected to be less choosy. This permits novel mate choice cues to evolve in derived populations. In a quantitative analysis of laboratory experiments, we show that bottlenecked males have indeed become less attractive, but females have not lost their ancestral…

Drift and selection entwined: asymmetric reproductive isolation in an experimental niche shift

Strong selection in the derived (corn) population appears to have decreased population size to the extent that genetic drift led to the fixation of deleterious alleles that reduced corn-evolved male fitness, and asymmetric pre-mating isolation arose because of this drift-induced maladaptation.

DIVERGENT ENVIRONMENTS AND POPULATION BOTTLENECKS FAIL TO GENERATE PREMATING ISOLATION IN DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA

The novel environment did not cause the evolution of any premating isolation and it reduced the likelihood of speciation through its effects on male mating success, both as a plastic response to this environment and as a result of environment-dependent inbreeding effects in the bottlenecked populations.

Song divergence at the edge of Amazonia: an empirical test of the peripatric speciation model

These findings are consistent with the idea that vocal divergence arising in small populations at the edge of Amazonia may result in partial reproductive isolation when contact is resumed, and suggest the possibility that song divergence in peripatry may act as a barrier to gene flow in suboscines.

Peripatric speciation

The existence of peripatric speciation is supported by observational evidence and laboratory experiments, and scientists observing the patterns of a species biogeographic distribution and its phylogenetic relationships are able to reconstruct the historical process by which they diverged.

Divergence at the edges: peripatric isolation in the montane spiny throated reed frog complex

In this case study, peripatric speciation appears to be an important driver of diversity within the EABH biodiversity hotspot, implying it could be a significant speciation mechanism in highly fragmented ecosystems.

REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATING MECHANISMS BETWEEN TWO SYMPATRIC SIBLING SPECIES OF SEA SNAKES

Behavioral studies in outdoor arenas show that the separation between these two taxa is maintained by species-specific cues that control male courtship, and the proximate mechanism driving this separation involves chemical cues.

Symmetrical discrimination despite weak song differentiation in 2 suboscine bird sister species

This study performs song play-back experiments on males of a long-diverged sister pair of Neotropical Suboscine species, the squamate antbird and the whitebibbed antbird, which occur in parapatry in the Atlantic Forest and that overlap extensively in song variation.

This work describes the Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller (BDM) model of speciation that does not require overcoming selection and describes exactly how the probability of speciation, the average waiting time to speciation, and the average duration of Speciation depend on the mutation and migration rates, population size, and selection for local adaptation.

Transcriptome-Wide Patterns of the Genetic and Expression Variations in Two Sympatric Schizothoracine Fishes in a Tibetan Plateau Glacier Lake

Collectively, morphological traits and dietary preference combine with genetic variation and expression variation, probably contributed to the incipient speciation of two sympatric populations.

Laboratory environments are not conducive for allopatric speciation

It is suggested that allopatric speciation experiments are more likely to yield conclusive results under divergent selection than under drift, and points to the benefits of large populations and many generations.

This paper elaborates the hypothesis proposed by Kaneshiro (1976) and proposes a uni-directional phylogeny for the six populations of the grimshawi complex of species.

CHARACTER DISPLACEMENT FOR SEXUAL ISOLATION BETWEEN DROSOPHILA MOJAVENSIS AND DROSOPHILA ARIZONENSIS

Evidence for reproductive character displacement in natural populations is poor and controversial, and it is felt that many of these problems could be avoided if one could demonstrate character displacement for sexual isolation.

CHASE‐AWAY SEXUAL SELECTION: RESISTANCE TO “RESISTANCE”

The model's two central assumptions are: (1) male traits "seduce" females into mating in a suboptimal way; and (2) selection thus favors female "resistance" to these traits, which makes predictions that can be readily tested in future studies.

Drosophila mojavensis comprises three geographic forms occurring in the United States, the Baja California peninsula, and mainland Mexico, and response to selection was highly asymmetrical in that isolation was very high between selected peninsular males and mainland females, but nonexistent between selected mainland males andPeninsular females.

SINGLE FOUNDER‐FLUSH EVENTS AND THE EVOLUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION

Results indicate that none of 50 independent founder‐flush lines evolved significant assortative mating relative to the control population, which suggests a diminished emphasis on population bottlenecks in speciation of D. melanogaster and perhaps in general.

FOUNDER‐FLUSH SPECIATION IN DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA: A LARGE‐SCALE EXPERIMENT

The results do not support the claim that the founder‐flush‐crash model identifies conditions very likely to result in speciation events, and it is concluded that although founder events may occasionally lead to the evolution of assortative mating and hence to speciation, the claims are not supported.

Adaptation of Drosophila willistoni experimental populations to extreme pH medium

A significant sexual preference was observed for homogamic insemination among populations derived from the centre of the species distribution than the ones collected near the margin of its distribution range, which may be due to their significantly greater chromosomal and genie polymorphism.

An Experiment Testing Two Hypotheses of Speciation

The results of this experiment and previous, related ones support the view that either genetic drift or selection is by itself sufficient to produce reproductive isolation as a pleiotropic by-product and help establish sexual isolation in Drosophila simulans.

GEOGRAPHIC SPECIATION IN TROPICAL ECHINOIDS

The great importance of ecological factors in speciation is stressed by most recent students and one might expect modes of speciation in the oceans that differ completely from the typical geographic speciation of land animals.
