Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

Hybridisation is well documented in many species, especially plants. Although hybrid
populations might be short-lived and do not evolve into new lineages, hybridisaiton could …

Hybridisation can lead to homoploid hybrid speciation, ie, the origin of new species without
change in chromosome number between parents and offspring. Central to homoploid hybrid …

Organisms can adapt to environmental heterogeneity through two mechanisms:(1)
expression of population genetic variation or (2) phenotypic plasticity. In this study we …

It is now well recognised that closely related species can hybridize and exchange genetic
material, which may promote or oppose adaptation and speciation. In some cases …

Progressive changes in the environment are related to modifications of the habitat.
Introducing exotic species, and interbreeding between species can lead to processes that in …

How do nascent species evolve reproductive isolation during speciation with on-going gene
flow? How do hybrid lineages become stabilised hybrid species? While commonly used …

Organisms can adapt to environmental heterogeneity through two mechanisms:(1)
expression of population genetic variation or (2) phenotypic plasticity. In this study we …

Ensuring future food and nutritional security, while reducing poverty are significant global
challenges. This is especially true in the Asian-Pacific region, characterized by rapid …

The elucidation of adaptive evolution mechanisms in the early stage of speciation is
important for understanding the origin and evolution of species. Aquilegia viridiflora is in the …
