Morphological, chemical and molecular variability between populations of Podarcis hispanica lizards in the area of Madrid: consequences on reproductive isolation and speciation within a species complex

Abstract

La selección natural explicaría la evolución de caracteres supuestamente adaptados (Darwin, 1859). Darwin definió la selección natural como los procedimientos que permiten preservar los caracteres útiles para la lucha por la supervivencia con el objetivo de reproducirse. Sin embargo otros muchos caracteres parecen mal adaptados y aún así están conservados por la selección. Los caracteres sexuales de los machos, como el plumaje vistoso de algunos pájaros o un canto elaborado, podrían ser costoso en términos de supervivencia y energéticamente pero sobre todo hacen parecer a los machos más débiles (Fig. 1). Sin embargo, a pesar de su efecto negativo sobre la viabilidad de los individuos estos caracteres han evolucionado y siguen presentes. Estas observaciones condujeron a Darwin a proponer la teoría de la selección sexual (“the descent of Man, and Selection in relation to sex”, 1871). Esta teoria sugiere que estos caracteres aparentemente superfluos o costosos para la supervivencia, tendrían un beneficio a nivel de la reproducción, aumentando el éxito reproductor del individuo. La selección sexual no implicaría una lucha por la supervivencia, sino una lucha entre individuos del mismo sexo por el acceso a la reproducción con individuos del otro sexo.
