| Abstract | This research investigates how biological diversity is maintained between closely related species in a changing environment. The work focuses on two species of yellow monkeyflowers—ecologically diverse wildflowers common across North America—that frequently meet and interbreed to create hybrids. In a unique, multi-year study of natural populations in the Columbia River Gorge, this research will track how fluctuating environmental conditions, such as drought, influence whether these plant species |
