PLANT OF THE DAY! Tamarix (salt cedar) 50-60 species Family Tamaricaceae native to dry areas of Eurasia and Africa. Introduced to North America as ornamental shrub in 19th century Planted extensively during great depression to prevent soil erosion Second worst invasive species in USA Colonizes riparian habitats, displacing native vegetation and consume precious water resources Most common invasive in USA is a hybrid of two species that do not grow in the same areas of Asia

Hybridization and Speciation

Big Questions How frequent is hybridization in plants? What is the role of hybridization in plant evolution? “. . . in such [hybridizing] populations, the raw material for evolution brought in by introgression must greatly exceed the new genes produced directly by mutation.” Anderson (1949, p. 102) “The major point to be stressed with respect to the role of hybrids in diversity is that they are intermediate. . . For this reason, the ultimate contributions to overall diversity made by hybrids must be small or negligible.” Wagner (1969, p. 785)

Terms What is hybridization? mating between different varieties or species Hybrid Oaks What is Introgression? the movement of genes flow from one variety or species to another by repeated backcrossing Introgression

How frequent is hybridization? Whitney et al. 2010

What are the evolutionary consequences of hybridization? Merger of species (destructive role) Stable hybrid zones, balanced by selection against hybrid and gene flow into the zone (neutral role) The origin and transfer of adaptations (creative role) The reinforcement of reproductive barriers (creative role) The birth of new hybrid lineages (creative role)

Merger of species (destructive role)

Stable hybrid zones, balanced by selection against hybrid and gene flow into the zone (neutral role) Steep clines indicate strong selection against hybrids (Whibley et al. 2006)

The origin and transfer of adaptations (creative role) Ray flowers and outcrossing regained through introgression in Senecio (Kim et al. 2008)

The reinforcement of reproductive barriers (creative role) Darwin - reproductive barriers byproduct of adaptation Wallace - selection against hybrids favored development of reproductive barriers New Phytologist Volume 197, Issue 4, pages 1095-1103, 16 JAN 2013 DOI: 10.1111/nph.12119 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.12119/full#nph12119-fig-0001

The reinforcement of reproductive barriers (creative role) Darwin - reproductive barriers byproduct of adaptation Wallace - selection against hybrids favored development of reproductive barriers New Phytologist Volume 197, Issue 4, pages 1095-1103, 16 JAN 2013 DOI: 10.1111/nph.12119 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.12119/full#nph12119-fig-0001

Reinforcement in Phlox Phlox drummondii and Phlox cuspidata are annual herbs native to east and central Texas. Throughout most of their ranges, they have light-blue flowers characteristic of the Phlox clade. Where these two species co-occur P. drummondii has dark-red flowers Robin Hopkins

Reinforcement in Sunflowers

Dune Sunflowers from Great Sand Dunes NP, CO Non-dune 200-230 m mega-dunes Sand sheet: typical H. petiolaris 5 km

Reinforcement: Estimating reproductive barrier strength And this is typically detected by comparing RI in allopatric versus sympatric populations. Kate Ostevik

Pollen Competition Dune mothers are choosier than non-dune mothers

Kinds of Hybrid Speciation 2x 2x Homoploid Hybrid Speciation Rare Reproductive isolation difficult to achieve X reproductive isolation 2x 2x 2x Polyploid Hybrid Speciation (Allopolyploidy) Common Reproductive isolation byproduct of genome doubling X reproductive isolation 4x

Model for Homoploid Hybrid Speciation Interspecific hybridization Fertility / viability selection Stabilization of fertile & viable hybrid segregates Reproductive isolation facilitated by karyotypic divergence (recombinational model) hybrid trait causes ecological divergence hybrid trait causes assortative mating spatial isolation

New homokaryotype confers partial isolation with parentals Recombinational Model New homokaryotype confers partial isolation with parentals

CONDITIONS FAVORING HOMOPLOID HYBRID SPECIATION Little spatial isolation between parental species, but substantial isolation of hybrid species. Open habitat for hybrid species. Strong ecological selection favoring hybrid lineage in new habitat. Weak postzygotic isolation between parental species, but strong isolation of hybrid species. Hybrid trait causes assortative mating (not modeled)

TESTING THE IMPORTANCE OF ECOLOGY IN HYBRID SPECIATION Are the stabilized hybrid species ecologically divergent from their parents? Are the hybrid species favored in the hybrid habitats? Is there evidence of parallel hybrid speciation? YES - for all but one species tested YES - for Helianthus YES - for Argyranthemum, Helianthus, Pinus

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GENOME OF HYBRID SPECIES? deserticola anomalus paradoxus Greg Owens, unpublished

HYBRID SPECIATION APPEARS TO BE SURPRISINGLY REPEATABLE AT THE GENOMIC LEVEL anomalus deserticola paradoxus Greg Owens, unpublished

Conclusions - Homoploid Hybrid Speciation Generally good match between theory & empirical data spatial isolation of hybrid species predicted & 12/16 hybrid species parapatric or allopatric with parents Ecological divergence of hybrid species predicted & all but one hybrid species exhibit some degree of ecological divergence Karyotypic evolution predicted to contribute to reproductive independence of hybrid lineage & 6/14 hybrid species exhibit karyotypic divergence Hybrid traits frequently cause assortative mating

How does hybridization create novel or extreme phenotypes? Natural populations of organisms often contain cryptic variation that cannot be predicted from the phenotype of the population. Cryptic variation is released in crosses through the expression of extreme or “transgressive” phenotypes Mechanism = complementary gene action

Unanswered Questions Is hybridization an important extinction threat? Does introgression often contribute to the evolution of invasive species? Is reinforcement frequent? Have we been looking at the wrong traits? Have most species experienced one or more episodes of hybridization in their evolutionary history (i.e., is strict allopatric speciation rare)?
