Strong premating divergence in a unimodal hybrid zone between two subspecies of the house mouse.

Although selection against hybridization is expected to generate prezygotic divergence in unimodal hybrid zones, such a pattern has been seldom described. This study aims to better understand how prezygotic mechanisms may evolve in such zones. We investigated prezygotic divergence between populations of two subspecies of mice (Mus musculus musculus and M.
