Abstract excerpt
Hybridisation affects the spatial and temporal patterns of morphological and genetic variation, shaping species evolution. Asclepias speciosa and A. syriaca provide an excellent system for uncovering how these patterns are generated. The ranges of A. speciosa and A. syriaca overlap on the North American Great Plains, and multiple intermediates are observed in this contact zone, consistent with hybridisation....
