Hybridisation and genetic diversity in introduced Mimulus (Phrymaceae).
Heredity - 1 Feb 2013
Vallejo-Marin M, Lye G C
Abstract excerpt
Hybridisation among taxa with different ploidy levels is often associated with hybrid sterility. Clonal reproduction can stabilise these hybrids, but pervasive clonality may have a profound impact on the distribution of genetic diversity in natural populations. Here we investigate a widespread triploid taxon resulting from hybridisation between diploid Mimulus guttatus and tetraploid Mimulus luteus, two species...
