Interspecific tests of allelism reveal the evolutionary timing and pattern of accumulation of reproductive isolation mutations.

Despite extensive theory, little is known about the empirical accumulation and evolutionary timing of mutations that contribute to speciation. Here we combined QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) analyses of reproductive isolation, with information on species evolutionary relationships, to reconstruct the...
