Ecological Speciation By Sexual Selection On Good Genes

Darwin suggested that the action of natural selection can produce new species, but 150 years after the publication of his famous book, ‘On the Origin of Species’, debate still continues on the mechanisms of speciation. New research finds sexual selection to greatly enlarge the scope for adaptive speciation by triggering a positive feedback between mate choice and ecological diversification that can eventually eliminate gene flow between species.
