Natural hybridization between closely related taxa is a common phenomenon in both plants
and animals. Hybridization has often been viewed as a destructive force that could erode …

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 …

Hybridization has been alternatively viewed as evolutionary noise (eg Wagner, 1970) and
an engine of biodiversity (eg Arnold, 1997), and debate continues over the role of …

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 …

Hybridization has played an important role in the evolution of many lineages. With the
growing availability of genomic tools and advancements in genomic analyses, it is becoming …

Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

Hybridization is a potent evolutionary process that can affect the origin, maintenance, and
loss of biodiversity. Because of its ecological and evolutionary consequences, an …

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 …

Hybridization and its consequences have been of longstanding interest to evolutionary
biologists. Darwin (1859) included a chapter on hybrids and the expression and causes of …

In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …
