Is sexual conflict an “engine of speciation”?

S Gavrilets - Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology, 2014‏ - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
At the end of the last century, sexual conflict was identified as a powerful engine of
speciation, potentially even more important than ecological selection. Earlier work that …
