However, regions of increased differentiation (islands of differentiation; [ 45]) through "divergence hitchhiking" [ 65], in which strong divergent selection between diverging populations reduces gene exchange, can reach several megabases sequence size [ 65, 66], and markers such as AFLPs can be appropriate to delineate these regions.
Therefore, CI differences would not persist and gene flow would eliminate differences between diverging populations.
Consequently, the degree of post-mating isolation between diverging populations may frequently depend on the individuals selected for a given cross.
In general, Blair's data support the idea that intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation is a gradual and likely outcome between diverging populations.
Assortative mating alone cannot maintain reproductive barriers in this case, a result consistent with theoretical expectations of assortative mating and disruptive selection having to work in concert to hinder gene flow between diverging populations [1].
It is generally believed that unidirectional CI cannot promote speciation in hosts because infection differences between populations will be unstable and subsequent gene flow will eliminate genetic differences between diverging populations.

The emergence of genetic incompatibility between diverging population means that the simulation might even be applied to model processes of speciation.
Kinnison et al. (2008) found that fitness differences (measured by vital rates) between diverged populations of New Zealand Chinook salmon are several-fold larger than mean differences in life history traits.
Syndactyly could possibly show that there was gene flow between the diverging populations as it is only found in two unrelated orders.
In particular, a focus on divergence in baculum morphology between closely related species or diverging populations is likely to advance understanding of genital evolution and speciation processes, as is increasingly being recognised in arthropod taxa [ 41, 42].
A higher rate of molecular evolution may increase the rate of diversification by accelerating the formation of hybrid incompatibility, occurring through the accumulation of genetic incompatibilities between the genomes of the diverging populations [ 16].
