Intrinsic reproductive isolating mechanisms in the maintenance of a hybrid zone between ecologically divergent subspecies.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding factors involved in maintaining stable hybrid zones is important for predicting the ultimate fate of the interacting taxa, but the relative importance of mechanisms such as ecological selection and intrinsic reproductive isolation remains unclear. Most studies of reproductive isolation in hybrid zones have focused either on zones with strongly bimodal patterns in genotype or phenotype frequencies,...
