Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wolbachia co-infection in a hybrid zone: discovery of horizontal gene transfers from two Wolbachia supergroups into an animal genome

TL;DR: This work investigated a natural hybrid zone of two subspecies of the meadow grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus in the Pyrenees Mountains to test whether co-infections of B and F Wolbachia in hybrid grasshoppers enabled horizontal transfer of phage WO, similar to the numerous examples of phages WO transfer between A and B Wolbachian co- Infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wolbachia Infection in the Chorthippus parallelus Hybrid Zone: Evidence for Its Role as a Reproductive barrier

TL;DR: Wolbachia, a genus of obligate endosymbiont bacteria that induce changes in the reproduction of arthropods and nematodes, are shown to produce a significant reproductive barrier in this hybrid zone, implying, as proposed elsewhere, that Wolbachia may be involved in speciation phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Spiroplasma and Wolbachia in the bacterial gonad community of Chorthippus parallelus.

TL;DR: Previous experimental crosses of this grasshopper suggests that Spiroplasma is unlikely to contribute to sex-specific reproductive anomalies; instead, they implicate Wolbachia as the agent of the observed anomalies in C. parallelus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chorthippus parallelus and Wolbachia: Overlapping Orthopteroid and Bacterial Hybrid Zones.

TL;DR: It is shown how genome conflicts have resulted in a finely tuned adjustment of the bacterial strain to each pure orthopteroid taxon, and the striking appearance of another, newly identified recombinant Wolbachia strain that only occurs in hybrid grasshoppers.
