Abstract
In this paper we investigate whether the assortative mating between individuals of the same genetic entity (i.e. coming from the same geographical area) of Echinostoma caproni, reported in a previous paper, may be explained by a post-zygotic isolating mechanism. The fecundity of the adults of 2 parental genetic entities and of their hybrids (i.e. F1, F2, F3) was quantified through 3 successive generations. Whereas the number of eggs released by F1 hybrids is similar to that of the mid-parent, that of recombinant hybrids (F2-3 hybrids) is significantly lower than that of F1 and that of the mid-parent. Since these results seem to demonstrate hybrid breakdown, 2 important factors maintaining reproductive isolation, i.e. pre-mating reproductive isolation and low hybrid fecundity, may influence the evolution of E. caproni.
