The mate recognition protein gene mediates reproductive isolation and speciation in the <it>Brachionus plicatilis</it> cryptic species complex

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chemically mediated prezygotic barriers to reproduction likely play an important role in speciation. In facultatively sexual monogonont rotifers from the <it>Brachionus plicatilis</it> cryptic species complex, mate recogn...
