Evolutionary genetics: Who shouldn't be your daddy
Patrick C. Phillips1
Abstract
Unusual reproductive incompatibility has been discovered between two strains of a nematode worm. This finding indicates that natural selection can generate long-term divergence within self-fertilizing populations.
Reproductive incompatibility is the stuff of speciation and lies at the heart of the world's tremendous biodiversity. It makes little sense for such incompatibility to be maintained within a species, however.
