Hybrid Zones
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A hybrid zone is a geographic area where two closely related, recently diverged species continue to interact and interbreed, producing hybrids.
Show
A narrow band where two related species' ranges overlap and hybrids regularly appear is a hybrid zone under observation.
Watch for
A hybrid zone's existence alone does not mean speciation failed — its long-term outcome depends on hybrid fitness.
