Domain-specific¶
- Wallace Effect
- Pfennig showed that female S. bombifrons from sympatric ponds discriminate more strongly in favor of conspecific male calls than females from allopatric ponds, which mate more readily with heterospecific males — exactly the reproductive character displacement reinforcement predicts
This sourceField study of two spadefoot-toad species reporting a precipitous 27-year decline in hybridization that reinforcement best explains.

“I found no support for these three alternative explanations of the decline in hybrids. Instead, reinforcement appears to best account for the evolution of enhanced reproductive isolation between these species.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
