Sexual Selection and Speciation in Hawaiian Drosophila

  • Published:
Behavior Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Many ideas about sexual selection and speciation have been stimulated by considering Hawaiian Drosophila. In turn, the ideas and models have stimulated research with the flies, particularly members of the planitibia group. This paper describes high points of some of the models and reviews data that are relevant to understanding sexual selection and speciation in this species group.
