Adaptive coupling of chromosomal inversions with multilocus ecological, mating-bias, and hybrid-incompatibility genotypes facilitates sympatric speciation

This study shows chromosomal inversions can either promote or hinder sympatric speciation by altering effective locus numbers and coupling different reproductive barriers.

Coupling of habitat-preference barriers leads to reproductive isolation in sympatric speciation

This study uses mathematical models to show habitat-preference barriers can initiate and enhance reproductive isolation in sympatric speciation by coupling with other barriers.

Computer Simulations and Analyses of Coupling Among Reproductive Barriers in Late-Stage Sympatric Speciation

This study uses computer simulations to show how reproductive barriers couple during late-stage sympatric speciation, leading to strong and irreversible reproductive isolation.
