Adaptive divergence in shoot gravitropism creates hybrid sterility in an Australian wildflower
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - PNAS (23-11-2021)“…Natural selection is responsible for much of the diversity we see in nature. Just as it drives the evolution of new traits, it can also lead to new species…”
