1 Speciation: The Strength of Natural Selection Driving Reinforcement

2 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. Des Marais and (B) Robin Hopkins. Current Biology  , R955-R957DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
