Abstract

Prezygotic isolation is one of the major forms of reproductive isolation which appears between developing species. Here the causes of prezygotic isolation in sexual species are described in detail. We need more comparative studies making controlled comparisons of types of reproductive isolation between species showing a wide range of levels of divergence to assess the relative importance of these different forms of reproductive isolation.
