On the scent of speciation: the chemosensory system and its role in premating isolation
Chemosensory speciation is characterized by the evolution of barriers to genetic exchange
that involve chemosensory systems and chemical signals. Here, we review some …

The role of interspecific interference competition in character displacement and the evolution of competitor recognition
The extent to which interspecific interference competition has contributed to character
evolution is one of the most neglected problems in evolutionary biology. When formerly …

Genome‐wide architecture of reproductive isolation in a naturally occurring hybrid zone between Mus musculus musculus and M. m. domesticus
Studies of a hybrid zone between two house mouse subspecies (Mus musculus musculus
and M. m. domesticus) along with studies using laboratory crosses reveal a large role for the …

The perfume of reproduction in birds: chemosignaling in avian social life
This article is part of a Special Issue “Chemosignals and Reproduction”. Chemical cues
were probably the first cues ever used to communicate and are still ubiquitous among living …

Isolation and gene flow: inferring the speciation history of European house mice
Inferring the history of isolation and gene flow during species differentiation can inform us on
the processes underlying their formation. Following their recent expansion in Europe, two …

Reinforcement selection acting on the European house mouse hybrid zone
Behavioural isolation may lead to complete speciation when partial postzygotic isolation
acts in the presence of divergent‐specific mate‐recognition systems. These conditions exist …

Ultrasonic vocalizations of male mice differ among species and females show assortative preferences for male calls
K Musolf, S Meindl, AL Larsen… - PLoS one, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Male house mice (Mus musculus) emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) during courtship,
which attract females, and we aimed to test whether females use these vocalizations for …

On the saliva proteome of the Eastern European house mouse (Mus musculus musculus) focusing on sexual signalling and immunity
P Stopka, B Kuntová, P Klempt, L Havrdová… - Scientific Reports, 2016 - nature.com
Chemical communication is mediated by sex-biased signals abundantly present in the urine,
saliva and tears. Because most studies concentrated on the urinary signals, we aimed to …

Molecular heterogeneity in major urinary proteins of Mus musculus subspecies: potential candidates involved in speciation
When hybridisation carries a cost, natural selection is predicted to favour evolution of traits
that allow assortative mating (reinforcement). Incipient speciation between the two European …
