Talk:Hybrid zone

copyright infringement?
i read this : "There are multiple sites of hybridisation between the species Mytilus edulis, M. trossulus and M. galloprovincialis across the Atlantic, Scandinavian and the Mediterranean Seas as shown in Figure 2." ... and then i thought all this article could be in copyright infringement. What figure? There are no pictures... it is possible someone simply cut and paste this text or copied this text.


 * I wrote this entire article for a university literature review on hybrid zones. It is substantially more accurate than what was here before. I made up some figures for it which I have not added to the article, so that needs to be corrected. However, obviously I relinquish all copyright on what I've written, so copyright is not an issue. --komencanto 01:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Where is Murray (1985) from?
I don't see this reference in the References section and I'm not able to locate it on Web of Science to add the correction. Emote control 20:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

For that matter, what about Barton & Hewitt (1989)?
I assume it's from Nature 341 : 497-503, but I'd like confirmation before I go adding the reference. Emote control 20:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

rare?
Can someone provide an inline citation or clarification for the statement "Hybrid zones are relatively rare"? Does this just refer to animals, or plants too? In plants, hybrids between what are generally called species are very common, often related to polyploidy (some of these so-called "hybrids" are probably species by many definitions although that isn't always known). You can see some examples at Oak or Chelone, but I'm kind of over my head in terms of keeping up with what is an active area of research, and whether "hybrid zone" is intended to relate to all cases of hybrids in the wild or only certain situations.

Introduction
Isn't the introduction a bit long? O_o Ameki (talk) 00:31, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it was written as a non-wikipedia article (and contributed by the author; see earlier on this talk page) and noone has gone back and written an introduction in the style of WP:LEAD. The first two paragraphs, plus some summary of the rest of the article, could serve as the basis for an introduction. Kingdon (talk) 16:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Replaced the "Form" section in "Definition" to a rewritten version of a review of different theories and models on hybrid zones over the past few decades. Added a section about hybrid zones in conservation biology. Changed the former marine hybrid zone case study section title to "case studies", as I intend to add in a few other hybrid zone case studies in plants and animals later.
