A simple methematical model describes the invasion of panmictic, sexually reproducing populations by a newly introduced transposon. The model places important constraints on the properties that transposons must have to successfully invade a population and describes the kinetics with which such an invasion will occur. Invasibility conditions serve as a basis for new, detailed scenarios whereby transposon-mediated depression in fitness produces reproductive isolation of populations. These scenarios, in turn, lead to several speculations concerning the role of transposons in evolution.
一个简单的数学模型描述了新引入的转座子对随机交配、有性繁殖群体的入侵。该模型对转座子成功入侵群体必须具备的特性施加了重要限制，并描述了这种入侵发生的动力学过程。入侵条件为新的详细情景提供了基础，在这些情景中，转座子介导的适应性降低导致群体的生殖隔离。反过来，这些情景引发了关于转座子在进化中作用的几种推测。
