Table 1.

Mean values of reproductive isolation at 9 examined barriers (1 postmating prezygotic [pollen-pistil], and 8 postzygotic) and 2 cumulative measures, along with their absolute and relative contributions to total isolation.

Fruit Set has the highest absolute and relative contribution to total isolation (ANOVA, p< 0.00001; Tukey HSD p< 0.00001).

Sample sizes refer to number of species pairs. RI values between reciprocal crosses were often highly asymmetric:

*

p<0.05,

**

p<0.001;

***

p<0.0001 (one-sample t-test).
