Sexual selection and speciation: Issues raised by Hawaiian Drosophila.

Abstract

The Drosophila fauna of Hawaii is extraordinarily diverse, representing about 25% of the world's described species. The most notable characteristics which differentiate the species in Hawaii are morphological and behavioral ones used in courtship and mating. These flies are excellent model species for investigating the evolution of sexually selected traits. Hypotheses regarding the associations between species formation and mating behaviour have been formulated as a result of work on this group, leading to further empirical and theoretical research.
