Two Symposia on speciation in insects held at the Fourteenth
International Congress of Entomology (Canberra, Australia, August
22-30, 1972) are included in this volume. The first, on the more
general topic of Genetic Analysis of Speciation Mechanisms,
includes four papers on speciation in various groups of Diptera and
Orthopteroid insects. The second symposium was devoted to the topic
of Evolution in the Hawaiian Drosophilidae; it deals with the
explosive speciation of a group of flies with specialized
ecological requirements in the complex ecolOgical habitats provided
by a recent tropical volcanic archipelago. The Hawaiian Symposium,
organized by Professor D. Elmo Hardy, is the latest outcome of a
major collaborative research project involving over 20 scientists
and about 125 technical assistants over a period of ten years. Some
recent books on evolution have taken the standpoint that the funda
mental genetic mechanism of speciation is relatively uniform and
stereotyped and, in particular, that the 'allopatric' model of its
geographic component is universally valid. Certainly, this has been
a rather generally accepted viewpoint on the part of students of
vertebrate speciation. Workers on speciation in insects have
tended, in general, to be less dogmatic and more willing to
consider a variety of alternative models of speciation. Thus, in
the present volume, several contributions adopt viewpoints which
are unorthodox or novel. Only time will tell whether their
conclusions will turn out to have been soundly based."
