Abstract excerpt
To what extent is evolution repeatable? Little is known about whether the evolution of hybrids is more (or less) repeatable than that of nonhybrids. We used field experimental evolution in annual sunflowers (Helianthus) in Texas to ask the extent to which hybrid evolution is repeatable across environments compared to nonhybrid controls. We created hybrids between Helianthus annuus (L.) and H. debilis (Nutt.) and...
