  1. Review article hybridization within the genus Quercus L Natural BS Rushton Department of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland, BT52 1SA, UK Summary — Hybridization within the genus Quercus L appears to be extensive and reports vary sightings of individual hybrid trees to small numbers of individual hybrid trees within populations from to populations with characteristics of small-scale (eg Q robur and Q petraea in Hurepoix, France) and large-scale introgression (eg Q robur and Q petraea in Scotland) and, in some cases, the occur- rence of hybrid swarms (eg Q douglasii and Q turbinelia subsp californica in California). This has persuaded some authorities to question the current formal species concept in the genus and to sug- gest alternatives. The evidence supporting these cases of hybridization is examined in detail. The majority of the re- ports of hybrids between species of Quercus are based on an analysis of morphological data alone using a variety of univariate, bivariate and, more effectively, multivariate statistics, while other forms of evidence, such as estimates of fertility in the putative hybrids, resynthesis of hybrids, habitat char- acteristics of the putative hybrids and F segregation of parental types, have only been used occa- 2 sionally. Data from chemotaxonomic investigations of suspected Quercus hybrids (mainly isozymes and phenolic components) in some instances support the morphological evidence but in other in- stances are contradictory; chemical data are also shown to be variable and possibly related to envi- ronmental variation which will limit their usefulness. It is concluded that, before any radical revision of the genus is attempted in which the specific limits are redefined, a wider application of the possible techniques for the study of hybrids be applied in or- der to clarify the true extent of gene flow between Quercus species. hybridization / introgression / chemotaxonomy / morphology / Quercus L natural Résumé — Hybridation à l’intérieur du genre Quercus L. L’hybridation à l’intérieur du genre Quercus L est très largement répandue. Les descriptions d’hybrides concernent soit des arbres iso- lés, soit un nombre limité d’arbres situés en peuplement (Q robur et Q petraea à Hurepoix, France), soit des zones d’introgression (Q robur et Q petraea en Écosse), soit de larges populations gré- gaires d’hybrides (Q douglasii et Q turbinella subsp californica en Californie). La notion même d’es- pèce à l’intérieur du genre a été mise en doute par les spécialistes, qui ont suggéré d’autres interpré- tations. Les différents cas d’hybridation sont examinés en détail dans cette contribution. La majorité d’entre eux se réfère à des données morphologiques interprétées sous forme univariée, bivariée ou multivariée. Par contre d’autres méthodes de mise en évidence telles que les estimations de fertilité des hybrides, les hybridations contrôlées, les ségrégations des types parentaux en F et la descrip- , 2 tion de l’habitat des hybrides putatifs, ont été plus rarement utilisées. Les données chimiotaxonomi- ques relatives aux hybrides suspectés (essentiellement isozymes et composés phénoliques) corro- borent les observations morphologiques dans certains cas, mais les infirment dans d’autres cas. Les

En conclusion, il est recommandé d’utiliser l’ensemble des techniques disponibles pour l’étude de l’hybridation et des flux géniques avant de remettre en cause de manière radicale le genre Quercus. hybridation naturelle / introgression / chimiotaxonomie / morphologie / Quercus L THE DETECTION OF HYBRIDIZATION INTRODUCTION Hybridization manifests itself in a number It is estimated that Quercus L, of the one of ways, but the initial recognition of hy- largest genera of flowering plants, includes brids is by morphological intermediacy, the about 450 species (Jones, 1974), although putative hybrids showing evidence of inter- the literature contains considerably more mediate character states or a combination names and descriptions than this and vari- of suspected parental character states able estimates for the total number of spe- (Phipps, 1984).
