Abstract

Chromosomal rearrangements are often the only apparent difference between closely related species, although it is not clear whether they are a cause or a by-product of speciation. We suggest that changes in the pattern of recombination may provide a link between chromosomal rearrangements and speciation. In models of speciation by sexual selection and by reinforcement, recombination is a major barrier to the formation of new species, primarily because it opposes the establishment of linkage disequilibrium. Here we show that in both the Felsenstein (1981) and Kirkpatrick (1982) models, a recombination suppressor is able to enhance the processes leading to speciation and increase its own frequency in the population.

  • Inversions can facilitate speciation indirectly by reducing recombination between loci under divergent selection and those underlying RI, a genetic architecture commonly reported in plants.

    “However, inversions can also facilitate speciation indirectly by reducing recombination between loci under divergent selection and those underlying RI (Trickett and Butlin, 1994; Kirkpatrick and Barton, 2006; Feder et al., 2011; Dagilis and Kirkpatrick, 2016; Charlesworth and Barton, 2018; Schaal et al., 2022), a genetic architecture commonly reported in plants (reviewed in Huang and Rieseberg, 20”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
