Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Niche differentiation is a crucial issue in speciation. Although it has a well-known role in adaptive processes of hybrid angiosperms, it is less understood in hybrid ferns. Here, we investigate whether an intermediate ecological niche of a fern hybrid is a novel adaptation that provides insights into fern hybrid speciation. METHODS: Pteris fauriei (Pteridaceae) is a natural hybrid fern,...
