“…Moreover, ITS-2 and CytB markers and the use of antennal phenotype studies have always reached the same conclusion (Marcilla et al 2001, Bargues et al 2002, 2010. By analyzing many interfertile experiments (Mazzotti & Osorio 1942, Martínez-Ibarra et al 2008b, it can be concluded that in triatomines, morphological differentiation appears faster than the appearance of reproductive or genetic barriers (Dujardin et al 1999, Bargues et al 2008). As Mayr and Ashlock (1991) established, only subspecies that are isolated are incipient species, whereas subspecies that are part of a continuum are not.…”
In seven studied communities of Western Mexico, triatomine specimens were sympatrically collected, some with atypical morphological characteristics in contrast to pure specimens, which were presumed to be hybrids.

“…The morphological, ecological, and molecular differences observed between the chromatic forms of T. brasiliensis (see Introduction) indicate that the populations of this species are in a differentiation process that does not involve their chromosomal organization. This differentiation might lead to a speciation process, which in Triatominae seems to be a rapid process mainly driven by ecological factors (Dujardin et al, 1999).…”
“…According to the sexual dimorphism reduction reported by Dujardin et al (1999) the domiciliation process of triatomines in transition from a natural habitat to an artificial one leads to a reduction of such dimorphism. The stated sexual dimorphism found in the studied groups of T. venosa suggests a recent invasion process of the artificial ecotopes.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
