Ecological mechanisms in species origins : divergent natural selection and the evolution of reproductive isolation between sympatric sticklebacks
Under the ecological model of speciation, reproductive isolation arises ultimately as a result of divergent natural selection. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of this mechanism but evidence from nature is lacking. This thesis investigates the role of ecological mechanisms...
