The two faces of secondary contact on islands: Introgressive hybridization between endemics and reproductive interference between endemics and introduced species

Abstract:AimHybridization is thought to have played an important role in shaping the evolutionary history of diverse island taxa. Here, we propose an ecological and evolutionary framework for understanding the causes and consequences of heterospecific mating on islands—with and without introgressive hybridization. We use this framework to support our main contention that cases of secondary contact among endemic species should commonly result in introgressive hybridization whereas cases of contact between endemic and in… Show more
