Natural hybridization has significant ecological, genetic and evolutionary consequences altering morphological and chemical characters of individuals. Quercus glabrescens, Q. rugosa and Q. obtusata are white oak species well separated by their morphological characters when they occur in allopatry in Mexican temperate forests. However, in sympatry, individuals with atypical morphology have been observed, suggesting hybridization events. In this study, we determined with microsatellites and secondary metabolites if interspecific gene flow occurs when these three-oak species coexist in sympatry. In total, 180 individuals belonging to seven populations [three allopatric (one for each parental species) and four sympatric sites] were analyzed. Allopatric populations represent well defined genetic groups and the sympatric populations showed genetic evidence of hybridization between Q. glabrescens × Q. rugosa and Q. glabrescens × Q. obtusata. The hybridization percentage varied between sites and combination of involved species. We registered the presence of unique flavonoid compounds for Q. glabrescens (caffeic acid and flavonol 2), Q. rugosa (flavonol 5), Q. obtusata (flavonol 1). Three compounds (quercetin rhamnoside, flavonol 3 and alkyl coumarate) were expressed in all taxa. Finally, the hybrid genotypes identified in this study (Q. glabrescens × Q. rugosa and Q. glabrescens × Q. obtusata) showed particular chemical profiles, resulting from combination of those of their parental species. These results show that hybridization events between these oak species alter chemical expression of secondary metabolites, creating a mosaic of resources and conditions that provide the substrate for different combinations of foliar-associated species as herbivores, endophytic fungi or epiphyte plants.
