Phylogeography of palo santo trees (Bursera graveolensandBursera malacophylla; Burseraceae) in the Galápagos archipelago [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009
Two species of palo santo trees are distributed in the Galapagos archipelago, the native Bursera graveolens and the endemic Bursera malacophylla (Burseraceae). However, a zone of individuals morphologically intermediate between the two exists on northern Santa Cruz Island and south-eastern Santiago Island, suggesting that they may not be reproductively

Marginal coral populations: the densest known aggregation of Pocillopora in the Galápagos Archipelago is of asexual origin [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
Coral populations at distributional margins frequently experience suboptimal and variable conditions. Recurrent El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) warming events have caused extensive mortality of reef-building corals in the Eastern Pacific, and particularly impacted branching pocilloporid corals in the Galápagos Islands. Pocillopora spp.

Genetic admixture predicts parasite intensity: evidence for increased hybrid performance in Darwin's tree finches [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Hybridization can increase adaptive potential when enhanced genetic diversity or novel genetic combinations confer a fitness advantage, such as in the evolution of anti-parasitic mechanisms. Island systems are especially susceptible to invasive parasites
