The evolution of barriers to gene exchange (BARRIERS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,

Speciation is a central process in evolution that involves the origin of barriers to gene flow between populations. Species are typically isolated by several barriers and assembly of multiple barriers separating the same populations seems to be critical to the evolution of strong reproductive isolation. Barriers resulting from direct selection can become coincident through a process of coupling wh ...
