Hybridization and speciation in angiosperms: a role for pollinator shifts?

Published 2010 in BMC Biology

ABSTRACT

The majority of convincingly documented cases of hybridization in angiosperms has involved genetic introgression between the parental species or formation of a hybrid species with increased ploidy; however, homoploid (diploid) hybridization may be just as common. Recent studies, including one in BMC Evolutionary Biology, show that pollinator shifts can play a role in both mechanisms of hybrid speciation.See research article http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/103
