"The University administration respects all student protests, just not this one. Students have fought for many important causes over the years, and their right to protest is sacrosanct. In this case, however, we must arrest and slander them."

I am so excited to share the advance online version of our new paper "Do genetic loci that cause reproductive isolation in the lab inhibit gene flow in nature?" Bret and I really enjoyed thinking about these ideas and we hope others find the discussion useful! academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

Do Genetic Loci that Cause Reproductive Isolation in the Lab Inhibit Gene Flow in Nature?

Abstract. The genetic dissection of reproductive barriers between diverging lineages provides enticing clues into the origin of species. One strategy uses linka
