Figure 1 Evolution of flower color in Phlox. (A) Wildflowers from the genus Phlox show a characteristic blue flower color. (B) In areas of contact with P. cuspidata, the Texas wildflower P. drummondii has evolved dark-red flowers. This newly evolved flower color causes pollinators to increase assortative mating between the plants, and thus it minimizes the likelihood of maladaptive hybridization. Photo credit (A) David L.
