Breaking the Hybrid Myth of Paphiopedilum wenshanense: Double Bifurcated Divergence Followed by Adaptive Introgression Formed a Morphological Intermediate.

Abstract excerpt

Species with intermediate phenotypes are usually hypothesised to have originated from hybrid speciation. However, other mechanisms, such as double bifurcated speciation with introgression may create the same phenotypes. Clarifying the underlying process generating the observed intermediate morphology is important for conservation efforts, as it provides insights into the species' evolutionary background and...
