Item description from seller

The multiple discrete hybrid zones that characterize Mytilus blue mussels allow a novel, non-manipulative, examination of the selective pressures that create and maintain species. If endogenous genetic incompatibility is solely responsible for post-zygotic isolation, then individuals of a specified hybrid genotype are expected to show similar average fitness across environments. However, if hybrid fitness differs across environments, then exogenous selection is implicated, either via ecological selection or environment-specific expression of intrinsic genetic incompatibilities. Correspondence between developmental instability of hybrids and heterozygote deficiency, estimated in two M. trossulus _ M. galloprovincialis hybrid zones on the coast of North America, indicates that environment-dependent selection against hybrids may contribute to reproductive isolation among Pacific Mytilus species. 6 pp., 3 figs, 4.
