If one accepts some version of the biological species concept, the central problem of speciation is the origin of isolating barriers that prevent actual or potential gene flow among populations (Coyne ...

Understanding the speciation process remains a challenge in evolutionary biology (Coyne and Orr, 2004; Dieckmann et al., 2004; Price, 2007) but in recent decades much progress has been made regarding ...

Experiments were designed to clarify the role of olfactory stimuli in sexual isolation between the closely related and allopatric mice, Peromyscus maniculatus rufinus and P. polionotus leucocephalus.
