Speciation and Sexual Selection in Hawaiian Drosophila

  • Conference paper
Ecological Genetics: The Interface

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

How closely do the genes of an organism track the outer physical and organic properties of the ecosystem? A common assumption among evolutionary geneticists holds that this kind of natural selection acts as the most important evolutionary force at all levels from local population to the formation of species.
