良好的沟通需要共同的语言。正如Harrison（2012）所指出的，“物种形成的语言”有着复杂的进化历史，有时会导致术语使用的修改和多样化。这有可能削弱有效的思想交流。令人惊讶的是，哈里森没有讨论“生殖隔离”的含义。他似乎已经假定，沿着许多其他人，有一个共同的理解这个词。事实上，这不是一个容易定义的术语，对话是由Westram等人开始的。（2022）是有价值的和及时的。多个术语被用来描述种群通过杂交和基因流动连接的程度：“生殖隔离”本身，来自Dobzhansky的种子表的时间序列中的“生殖隔离的组成部分”的各种术语（Dobzhansky，1937，pp. 231-232;前合子隔离，后合子隔离和一系列更精细的划分），部分独立的分类为“内在”与“外在”成分和一组与“基因流动障碍”相关的术语，如“障碍性状”，“障碍基因座”和“障碍效应”。使用多个术语可能会造成混淆，但也可能非常有用：如果这些术语具有清晰和独特的含义，它们可以用于使描述更精确，从而更可靠地进行通信。它们还可以指导关于经验测量的决策，并有助于显示不同类型的经验信息如何组合在一起。Westram等人（2022）将“生殖隔离”定义为种群间遗传差异对基因流影响的定量测量，特别是旨在将他们在对从业者的调查中所描述的“有机体焦点”和“遗传焦点”结合在一起。在这里，我认为更好的沟通可以
Good communication needs a common language. As Harrison (2012) pointed out, the ‘language of speciation’has a complex evolutionary history, sometimes resulting in both modification and diversification in the use of terms. There is a risk that this erodes the effective exchange of ideas. It is surprising that Harrison did not discuss the meaning of ‘reproductive isolation’. He seems to have assumed, along with many others, that there is a common understanding of this term. In fact, it is not an easy term to define and the conversation started here by Westram et al.(2022) is both valuable and timely.Multiple terms are in use to describe the extent to which populations are connected by interbreeding and gene flow:‘reproductive isolation’itself, various terms for ‘components of reproductive isolation’in a temporal sequence derived from Dobzhansky's seminal table (Dobzhansky, 1937, pp. 231–232; prezygotic isolation, postzygotic isolation and a series of finer divisions), a partly independent categorization into ‘intrinsic’vs ‘extrinsic’components and a set of terms related to ‘barriers to gene flow’, such as ‘barrier traits’,‘barrier loci’and ‘barrier effects’. Having multiple terms is potentially confusing, but it can also be very helpful: if these terms have clear and distinct meanings, they can be used to make descriptions more precise and so to communicate more reliably. They can also guide decisions about what to measure empirically and help to show how different types of empirical information fit together. Westram et al.(2022) define ‘reproductive isolation’as a quantitative measure of the effect that genetic differences between populations have on gene flow, specifically aiming to bring together what they describe as the ‘organismal focus’ and the ‘genetic focus’ revealed in their survey of practitioners. Here, I argue that better communication can be
