Although hybridization and introgression have been considered important in generation of
plant diversity, their role in evolutionary diversification of animals remains unclear. In this …

Since the time of Charles Darwin, studies of interspecific hybridization have been a major
focus for evolutionary biologists. Although this phenomenon has often been viewed as …

Although the evolutionary importance of natural hybridization has been debated for
decades, it has become increasingly clear that hybridization plays a fundamental role in the …

Studies of natural hybridization have generally addressed evolutionary ques-tions using one
of the three following frameworks:(i) taxonomy or systematics (57, 59, 73, 79, 111, 172);(ii) …

Hybridization between species is commonplace in plants, but is often seen as unnatural and
unusual in animals. Here, I survey studies of natural interspecific hybridization in plants and …

The role of natural hybridization in the evolutionary history of numerous species is well
recognized. The impact of introgressive hybridization and hybrid speciation has been …

This study draws on data from numerous sources that support the paradigm of natural
hybridization as an important evolutionary process. The review of these data results in a …

Among animals, evidence for homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS, ie the creation of a hybrid
lineage without a change in chromosome number) was limited until recently to the virgin …

Homoploid hybrid speciation is the origin of a hybrid species without change in chromosome
number. Although currently thought to be a rare form of speciation, especially relative to the …

Luciano Bullini c peciation by hybridization is a sympatric, allogenous, almost instantaneous
event U(quantum speciation) giving rise to a new species that combines the genomes of two …
