title: The Gibbons speciation mechanism.
abstract: A mechanism of sympatric speciation first proposed by Gibbons (1979, Am. Nat. 114, 719-741) is analyzed and submitted to computer simulation. It is found that, in its original form, the mechanism does not bring about reproductive isolation, but that with relatively minor modification, it may be made to work as claimed.
