Sir Butlin and Tregenza1 quite rightly recognize Dobzhansky's contribution to the debate about whether natural selection can act directly to increase the reproductive isolation of

named in his honour the ‘Wallace Effect’4,5. REFERENCES * Butlin, R. K. & Tregenza, T. _Nature_ 387, 551–553 (1997). Article ADS CAS Google Scholar * Dobzhansky, Th. _Genetics and
