Abstract excerpt
Neutral alleles can eventually pass a hybrid zone and their initial clines generated by a pure diffusion process dissipate with time, irrespective of the presence or absence of physical barriers. However, the transient neutral clines at the nuclear or organelle sites can be reinforced by the cytonuclear disequilibrium generated by diploid seed and haploid pollen dispersal. In this study, the spread of a neutral...
