text: Speciation, that is, the evolution of reproductive barriers eventually leading
to complete isolation, is a crucial process generating biodiversity. Recent work
has contributed much to our understanding of how reproductive barriers begin to
evolve, and how they are maintained in the face of gene flow. However, little
is known about the transition from partial to strong reproductive isolation (RI)
and the completion of speciation. We argue that the evolution of strong RI is
likely to involve different processes, or new interactions among processes, compared
with the evolution of the first reproductive barriers. Transition to strong RI
may be brought about by changing external conditions, for example, following secondary
contact. However, the increasing levels of RI themselves create opportunities
for new barriers to evolve and, and interaction or coupling among barriers. These
changing processes may depend on genomic architecture and leave detectable signals
in the genome. We outline outstanding questions and suggest more theoretical and
empirical work, considering both patterns and processes associated with strong
RI, is needed to understand how speciation is completed.
