Abstract

Models are presented suitable for a description of speciation processes arising due to reproductive isolation depending on genetic distance. The main attention is paid to the model of a one-dimensional closed population, which describes the evolution of littoral benthic organisms. In order to correspond the modeling results to the results obtained in the course of experimental phylogenetic studies, all individual-based models described here involve neutrally evolving and maternally inherited DNA sequence. Sub-samples of the resulting sequences were used for a posteriori phylogenetic inferences which then were compared to the ``true{''} evolutionary histories.
