Molecular evidence of bidirectional introgression between Quercus suber and Quercus ilex
Cork oak and holm oak share a large part of their natural range, and are known to hybridize in mixed stands. This hybridization is supposed to have played a relevant role in the past history of cork oak. Previous research has reported that F1 hybrids are
