Research shows that sex-linked genes have limited impact on speciation in amphibians, both in species with degenerated sex chromosomes and those with newly evolved sex chromosomes.
Sex chromosomes are popularized as a special role in driving speciation. However, the empirical evidence from natural population processes has been limited to organisms with degenerated sex chromosomes, where hemizygosity is mainly considered to act as the driver of reproductive isolation. Here, we examined several hybrid zones of torrent frog Amolops mantzorum species complex, using an approach by mapping species-diagnostic loci onto the reference genome to compare sex-linked versus autosomal patterns of introgression. We find little support in sex-linked incompatibilities for large X-effects for these populations in hybrid zones with homomorphic sex chromosomes, due to the absence of the hemizygous effects. As expected, the large X-effects were not found in those with heteromorphic but newly evolved sex chromosomes, owing to the absence of strong genetic differences between X and Y chromosomes. The available data so far on amphibians suggest little role for sex-linked genes in speciation. The large X-effects in those with nascent sex chromosomes may not be as ubiquitous as presumed across the animal kingdom.
