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.
