• W3146372 abstract "Speciation is the process describing the formation of new species and is at the heart of evolutionary biology. According to the biological species concept only reproductively isolated forms are regarded good species. This thesis aims at identifying evolutionary processes that cause population divergence and, ultimately, speciation. Natural and sexual selection are two major candidates driving changes in traits that could render populations reproductively incompatible. In recent years, biologists have recognized that most animal species are polygamous. Therefore, sexual selection does not end at mating but continues to include interactions between individuals after mating has occurred but before zygote formation. Male-male sperm competition and cryptic female choice are two main forms of postmating sexual selection shaping reproductive traits like behaviour. The studies presented in this thesis focus on laboratory experiments attempting to identify the role of postmating sexual selection in causing reproductive divergence across populations in beetles. The majority of studies were performed using a Bruchid beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, a common, worldwide pest on stored leguminose seeds. I used two major methodological approaches. One approach seeks to identify the traces left by past selection among extant conspecific populations, by assessing the pattern of female reproductive responses to mating with males of decreasing relatedness. Second, I used a selection experiment to disentangle the joint effect of natural and sexual selection acting simultaneously on diverging replicated selection lines. In general, these experiments revealed that postmating sexual selection can be a powerful engine of incipient divergence between allopatric populations. Changes in traits underlying variables such as female reproductive output, female mating rate or male success in sperm competition evolved rapidly and could in some cases effectively reduce gene flow between conspecific populations. While postmating sexual selection per se can drive divergence, I found that interactions with natural selection can limit divergence in reproductive characters. Sexual selection tended to reinforce natural selection under strong directional selection. In contrast, sexual selection inflicted a reproductive load on populations under weak natural selection. Thus, the joint effects of natural and sexual selection on allopatric populations are non-trivial and should be considered in greater detail in future studies of early divergence." @default.
