| Description: |
In this study researchers test the prediction that hybrid zones between warm- and cold-adapted species will move towards the territory formerly occupied by the cold-adapted species in response to a warming climate. They use multiple tests of this prediction to distinguish amongst potential mechanistic hypotheses of responses to climate change. They sampled 97 locations on the Atlantic coast of Spain and France and the English Channel that span three hybrid zones formed between two species of marine mussels.
