The contribution of hybridization to range‐wide population genetic structure in a Pacific coastal dune plant
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PREMISE: Interspecific hybridization can cause genetic structure across species ranges if the mating system and degree of sympatry/parapatry with close relatives varies geographically. The coastal dune endemic Camissoniopsis cheiranthifolia (Onagraceae) exhibits genetic subdivisions across its range, some of which are associated with shifts in mating system from outcrossing to selfing, while others are not. For instance, strong differentiation between large-flowered, self-incompatible (LF-SI) and large-flowered, self-compatible (LF-SC) populations occurs without much reduction in outcrossing or obvious barriers to gene flow. We hypothesized that LF-SI diverged from LF-SC via hybridization with the predominantly inland SI sister species C. bistorta. METHODS: We analyzed spatial proximity using 1460 herbarium records and genetic variation at 12 microsatellites assayed for 805 and 404 individuals from 32 C. cheiranthifolia and 18 C. bistorta populations, respectively. We also assayed nine chloroplast microsatellites for 124 and 111 individuals from 27 and 19 populations, respectively. RESULTS: among SI C. cheiranthifolia and C. bistorta, adjusted for geographic proximity, was not higher between heterospecific than conspecific populations. CONCLUSIONS: The lack of genetic differentiation between LF-SI C. cheiranthifolia and C. bistorta populations, even those located away from the zone of parapatry, suggests that, instead of hybridizing with C. bistorta, LF-SI C. cheiranthifolia is rather an ecotype of C. bistorta that has adapted to coastal dune habitat independent of other lineages in C. cheiranthifolia proper.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
