Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Population genomic variation patterns provide unambiguous support for a single origin of Mimulus sookensis.
- Observation One subgenome of M. sookensis is clearly derived from the selfer Mimulus nasutus.
- Observation Organellar variation suggests that Mimulus nasutus is the maternal progenitor of M. sookensis.
- Observation The ancestor of the other M. sookensis subgenome is less certain but shares variation with both Mimulus decorus and M. guttatus.
- Mechanism M. sookensis is an example of instantaneous speciation, likely facilitated by the polyploid's predisposition to self-fertilize.
