Functional evolution and development of novel feeding apparatus in parrotfish, pufferfish and other fishes Nosil, P., Crespi, B. J. & Sandoval, C. P. Host-plant adaptation drives the parallel evolution of reproductive isolation. Nature 417, 440–443 (2002). Regardless of how individual barriers are calculated, there is wide agreement that estimating the relative contribution of each to reductions in gene flow is one of the primary problems in speciation research. For example, Martin and Willis (p. 68, 2007) state “a major challenge to evolutionary biologists involves identifying the degree to which individual barriers contribute to total isolation observed between species,” but conclude that this may be unattainable given the difficulties discussed above. Although we agree that it is important to develop the correct metrics for achieving this goal, we contend that ignoring the sequential nature of barriers and/or omitting potentially important barriers (such as ecogeographic isolation) is bound to create far worse misconceptions about how speciation works. ARE ALL ISOLATING BARRIERS RELEVANT TO SPECIATION?

By these contrasting perspectives, allopatric taxa that differ in habitat may or may not be different species under the BSC. Mayr's “single most important event in evolution” has either undoubtedly happened, or is yet to occur. As originally proposed, the BSC defines species as “… groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups” ( Mayr 1942). The word “potentially” accounts for species whose geographic distribution prevents complete assessment of isolation, such as the case of allopatric populations. Mayr himself clearly struggled with the problem of allopatry, removing the word “potentially” from later versions of the definition ( Mayr 1984). We suggest that Mayr's original formulation of the BSC is the correct one, and that the word “potential” allows for the assessment of reproductive isolation even in allopatric taxa.

Coyne and Orr (2004) defined reproductive isolation that is favored by selection (i.e., reinforcement) as “direct,” whereas all other forms of isolation arise as “indirect” outcomes of selection. We prefer to use “reinforcement” instead of “direct” and to use “byproduct” when selection does not favor reproductive isolation per se. Within byproduct, direct isolation arises when the trait conferring reproductive isolation is the target of selection, and indirect isolation arises by pleiotropy or linkage. Although the biological mechanisms described by our system are equivalent to the terminology proposed by Coyne and Orr (2004), we feel that our usage of direct and indirect is more intuitive as it is analogous to the way these terms are used in traditional selection experiments.

Evaluate the role of chromosomal rearrangements in speciation. Stochastic forces may sometimes interact with adaptive processes to affect the resulting reproductive isolation. Chromosomal inversions, for example, may enhance isolation by building complexes of genes that are protected from recombination (e.g., Brown et al. 2004).

Print head cleaning consumes some ink. To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing. Web of Science literature search for citations of the topic “speciation” for the years 1979–2008, refined to subject areas “evolutionary biology,”“ecology,” or “genetics and heredity.” Moreover, the suggestion that the ecological speciation perspective affords investigators a new opportunity to study the mechanisms of reproductive isolation fails to recognize that Dobzhansky (1937) and Mayr (1942) had already established a complete inventory of reproductive isolating barriers more than a half century ago. Given this historical appreciation of ecological factors in speciation, the new perspective serves to direct attention to how the presence and strength of divergent selection affects reproductive isolation, but provides little new insight into how ecological versus non-ecological mechanisms are involved.Genetic basis of mate choice, immunocompetence and their interaction in the house sparrow, Passer domesticus
