The occurrence of hybrid incompatibilities forms an important stage during the evolution of reproductive isolation. In early stages of speciation, males and females often respond differently to hybridization. Haldane's rule states that the heterogametic sex suffers more from hybridization than the h

Secondary contact zones have the potential to shed light on the mode and rate at which reproductive isolation accumulates during allopatric speciation. We investigated the population genetics of a contact zone between two highly divergent lineages of field voles (Microtus agrestis) in the Swiss Jura

… In almost all mammals including humans, male is the heterogametic sex, while female is the heterogametic sex in all birds. … The above fact has contributed to creating a long-standing idea among the researchers that "Heterogametic sex once fixed is not changed so easily to the other". … A marginally evolved recent idea, however, proposes that heterogametic sex could be changed to each other far more frequently than we ever expected. …

… Lepidoptera, i.e. moths and butterflies, have a female heterogametic sex chromosome system, with most females having a WZ constitution while males are ZZ. … The female-heterogametic sex chromosome system has been conserved for at least 180 milliion years in the phylogenetic branch that combines Lepidoptera and Trichoptera. …
