Interspecific introgression reveals a role of male genital morphology during the evolution of reproductive isolation in Drosophila

The paper tests how genital morphology divergence affects reproductive isolation in Drosophila by analyzing introgression lines and finding fitness costs and reduced mating success.

Divergence in female damselfly sensory structures is consistent with a species recognition function but shows no evidence of reproductive character displacement

The paper examines mechanosensory sensilla variation in female damselflies to assess their role in species recognition and mate choice, finding no evidence of reproductive character displacement but suggesting species-specific placement aids recognition.

Mechanical And Tactile Incompatibilities Cause Reproductive Isolation Between Two Young Damselfly Species

The study investigates mechanical and tactile incompatibilities as barriers to reproduction between two damselfly species, finding that tactile cues influence female mating decisions and reduce gene flow.
