“…Population models of unidirectional incompatibility indicate that the infected type is expected to spread rapidly when no progeny are produced in the incompatible cross and there are no deleterious effects associated with the infection (Caspari & Watson, 1959;Fine, 1978). The infected TO type is therefore expected to spread in the absence of deleterious effects.…”

“…The effect of unidirectional genetic and cytoplasmic incompatibility on populations in the hybrid belt is the same, as one population will replace the other one eventually. However, in the case of genetic incompatibility one genome will be replaced by the dominant genome, whereas in the second case only the cytoplasm of one race would replace that of another while the genotypes would be mixed (Caspari & Watson, 1959). Symbiote-like cytoplasmic incompatibility would produce similar effects as the population replacement would spread like a disease through the propagation of the maternal cytoplasmic material.…”

“…This sterility has been shown to be caused by a double infection of the 'southern' race by two strains of Wolbachia (Riegler & Stauffer, 2002). Population genetic models have shown (Caspari & Watson, 1959) that cytoplasmic incompatibilities do not lead to a strong reduction of gene flow between populations. The fact that hierarchical F-statistics fail to show significant population structuring due to a geographical grouping in 'northern' and 'southern' populations supports this prediction.…”
