  • The Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller (BDM) model postulates that reproductive isolation arises when geographically separate populations fix incompatible mutations in genes that normally interact.

    “A popular explanation for postzygotic isolation is the Bateson−Dobzhansky−Muller (BDM) model (Bateson 1909; Dobzhansky 1936; Muller 1942). The model postulates that reproductive isolation arises when geographically separate populations fix incompatible mutations in genes that normally interact.”

    From Finding Hybrid Incompatibilities Using Genome Sequences from Hybrid Populations (2021) · cites this paper as Dobzhansky 1936

    The opening section (pp. 113–114) proposes that complementary genetic factors from two parental forms can interact to make their hybrid sterile, supporting the incompatibility mechanism. Our copy does not specify that the populations were geographically separate, that they fixed mutations, or that the implicated genes normally interact. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
