Reproductive barriers to interspecific Corymbia hybridization

Posted on August 20th, 2012 by Alex

Corymbia species have a high propensity to form interspecific hybrids. Dickinson et al. investigate the locations and activity of reproductive isolating barriers between species, and identify pre-zygotic barriers as the main mechanisms for reproductive isolation. Crossing Corymbia torelliana with 14 Corymbia taxa and single species from related Angophora and Eucalyptus, they find reproductive success decreases with [...]
