1 Natural hybridization – crossings in nature between individuals
... The majority of the studies on natural hybridization has been focused on one pair of species, in the case of genus Quercus, on pedunculate (Quercus robur) and sessile oak (Q. petraea) (e.g. Bacilieri et al. 1996, Evolution; Gugerli et al. 2007, Annals of Botany). A few studies have investigated the ...
