Admixture and environment shape population genetic and phytochemical variation across a conifer hybrid zone (Juniperus, Cupressaceae).

Abstract excerpt

Ancestry variation in hybrid zones can reflect the causes and genetic basis of reproductive isolation and result in novel phenotypic variation with the potential for extended ecological effects. Junipers (Juniperus) are foundational tree species in many semi-arid landscapes of western North America and often hybridize in zones of secondary contact. Such hybridization can be ecologically significant in...
