Putting the biological species concept to the test: using mating networks to delimit species

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Lélia Lagache and collaborators from the AgroParisTech, MIA, Paris, France have published the research: Putting the Biological Species Concept to the Test: Using Mating Networks to Delimit Species, in the Journal: PLOS ONE | www.plosone.org of June/20,/2013
• what: This approach has been criticized (e_g ) because artificial crosses bypass some pre-mating barriers to hybridization: mating events observed under artificial conditions might not reflect what would naturally occur. To answer these questions, the authors investigate the congruence between four methods of species delimitation, derived from the biological, morphological, genotypic and phylogenetic . . .
