Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence versus absence of CYP734A50 underlies the style-length dimorphism in primroses

TL;DR: This work identifies the Primula CYP734A50 gene, encoding a putative brassinosteroid-degrading enzyme, as the G locus that determines the style-length dimorphism, and sheds light on the evolution of the S-locus as a prime model for a complex plant supergene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterostyly promotes disassortative pollination and reduces sexual interference in Darwin's primroses: evidence from experimental studies

TL;DR: The results help to understand how the morphological and physiological components of heterostyly contribute to optimizing pollen transfer and minimizing self- and intra-morph pollination, thus promoting more efficient outcrossing in species with this floral polymorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonrandom sexual reproduction and diapausing egg production in a Daphnia hybrid species complex

TL;DR: It is concluded that hybrid Daphnia have a lower sexual reproductive success than the parental D. galeata, and the genotypic class composition of the diapausing eggs does not reflect the extant pelagic population; therefore, Daphnian diapauses egg banks do not always represent the past lake taxa structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial, environmental and anthropogenic effects on the taxon composition of hybridizing Daphnia.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human-mediated habitat disturbance (eutrophication) has facilitated hybrid success and altered the Daphnia taxon composition across lakes and at the same time, specific habitat conditions might provide a refuge from hybridization for native genotypes.
