Synopsis

Natural Hybridation and Evolution includes data from numerous sources that support the paradigm of natural hybridization as an important evolutionary process. The review of these data results in a challenge of the dogma that is the explicit or implicit framework used by a large proportion of evolutionary biologists - that the process of natural hybridization is maladaptive and it is because it represents a violation of divergent evolution. In contrast, this book presents evidence of a significant role for natural hybridization in furthering adaptive evolution and evolutionary diversification in both plants and animals.

Revue de presse

Arnold has written a clearly structured and stimulating review of current research on hybrid zones - especially valuable for its summary of his work on the Louisiana Iris, which gives is probably the best study of natural selection on field hybrids. (N.H. Barton, University of Edinburgh, Genetical Research, Vol. 70, 1997)

This is a book which will dispel many naive notions about hybridization and is a clear and interesting read. (Trends in Ecology & Evolution)
