Abstract
The last decade has brought renewed interest in the genetics of speciation, yielding a number of new models and empirical results. Defining speciation as ‘the origin of reproductive isolation between two taxa’, we review recent theoretical studies and relevant data, emphasizing the regular patterns seen among genetic analyses. Finally, we point out some important and tractable questions about speciation that have been neglected.Keywords
