Functional divergence caused by ancient positive selection of a Drosophila hybrid incompatibility locus.
Interspecific hybrid lethality and sterility are a consequence of divergent evolution between species and serve to maintain the discrete identities of species. The evolution of hybrid incompatibilities has been described in widely accepted models by Dobzhansky and Muller where lineage-specific funct...
