Fluctuating selection in a Monkeyflower hybrid zone

This study investigates the role of fluctuating natural selection in maintaining a hybrid zone between two monkeyflower species, finding that hybridization can be both adaptive and costly depending on environmental conditions.

Short-term fluctuating and long-term divergent selection on sympatric Monkeyflowers: insights from repeated reciprocal transplants

The paper examines selection pressures on sympatric Monkeyflowers through reciprocal transplants, finding fluctuating short-term selection and long-term divergence in flowering time.
