Abstract excerpt
Experimental and comparative evidence implies that homoploid hybrid speciation is a reproducible process, mediated in part by ecological selection. Here, molecular data from the chloroplast genome and 17 nuclear microsatellite loci were employed to determine whether a well-documented homoploid hybrid species, Helianthus paradoxus, has arisen multiple times. Helianthus paradoxus is ecologically divergent from its...
