Meta-analysis reveals that phenotypic plasticity and divergent selection promote reproductive isolation during incipient speciation

Scientists have experimentally recreated the speciation process in several species. They split one population of the same species into two, let them adapt to environment A or B, and then bring them back together. Our meta-analysis of these experiments may surprise you: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
