认为性选择是负责大多数的字符,形态,生理和行为,观察到的生殖行为的效率作为一个重要的监测健身是发展。作为一个必然的结果,性隔离被降级,被认为是一个相对不重要的次要过程,“机制”一词是非常不合适的。在我看来,在异地物种之间经常观察到的生殖隔离,主要是对有性生殖过程的种群内效率进行微调的偶然结果。强调两点:第一,性选择是一种强有力的服务于健康的手段;第二,杂交对一个物种的完整性或未来的福祉几乎没有威胁。
The idea that sexual selection is responsible for most of the characters, morphological, physiological, and behavioral, that are observed as subserving the efficiency of the reproductive act as an important monitor of fitness is developed. As a corollary, sexual isolation is downgraded, being considered a relatively unimportant secondary process for which the term "mechanism" is singularly inappropriate. The reproductive isolation frequently observed between allopatric species appears to me to be mostly an incidental outcome of the fine tuning of the intrapopulational efficiency of the process of sexual reproduction. Two points are stressed: first, sexual selection is a powerful means of serving fitness; and second, hybridization poses little threat to the integrity or future well-being of a species.
