Workshop in the context of the CAS Research Focus “Speciation”.
Even Darwin could not find a satisfactory solution to the obvious paradox of why natural selection tolerates the development of highly disadvantageous traits, such as sterility and infertility. This “mystery of mysteries” is one of the most important and unanswered questions of biological research in the last 150 years. A new research approach suggests that certain molecular structures are probably responsible for the emergence of incompatibility between species and for the sterility or infertility of hybrids.
