摘要：

New species arise when populations no longer interbreed successfully. The theory that natural selection might act directly to increase such reproductive isolation is known as reinforcement, and its validity has been debated for many years. But one group has now come up with the strongest evidence yet in favour of reinforcement, by studying divergent populations of the European flycatcher.
