MATERIALS AND METHODSThe reader should consult our previous paper (Coyne and Orr 1989a) for a detailed description of our criteria for including species, determining whether they are sympatric or allopatric, and estimating genetic distances and reproductive isolation. These criteria and all methods of calculation remain unchanged for the data presented here. Briefly, we collected pairs of taxa for which the following information was available: Nei's (1972) genetic distance (D) estimated from gel electrophoresis, the degree of prezygotic isolation as estimated from tests of sexual isolation in the laboratory, and the degree of postzygotic isolation estimated from measurements of fertility and viability of hybrid offspring. Our previous paper also discusses possible biases in the data (none of which appear to invalidate the conclusions) and important caveats about applying our results to reproductive isolation in nature.Because the same individual species sometimes take part in several different hybridizations within a species groupand because of the phylogenetic relatedness of the taxa studied-our data points may not all be statistically independent. To eliminate this problem, we produced sets of" corrected" data, which include comparisons that are all phylogenetically and hence statistically independent (Coyne and Orr 1989a, pp. 367, 371-372.(The raw data from all species pairs is termed" uncorrected".) We continue to make these phylogenetic corrections in the data presented here, and most of the statistics are calculated using these corrected data. As before (Coyne and Orr 1989a, pp. 365-366), postzygotic isolation is measured as a discrete character that only assumes the values 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00: 0.00 means that all hybrids were viable and fertile, while 1.00 means that both hybrid sexes in both reciprocal crosses were sterile or inviable. Prezygotic isolation, on the other hand, is measured as a continuous variable ranging between zero and one. Thus,
