Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Gene flow often contributes to plant diversification and does not appear a major impediment to speciation.
- Mechanism Plants have traits that can promote associations between ecological and assortative mating traits.
- Observation Sister plant species show greater range overlap and asymmetry than more distant species.
- Mechanism The range patterns suggest geographic isolation is not required for plant speciation and budding speciation may matter.
- Observation Genomic data indicate frequent but intermittent gene flow during plant speciation.
