State

A hybrid zone's outcome depends on hybrid fitness: less-fit hybrids trigger reinforcement; fit or more-fit hybrids may fuse species into one.

Show

A hybrid zone where barriers hold steady and hybrids appear at a low, unchanging rate shows stability, not failed speciation.

Watch for

Outcomes hinge on hybrid fitness and whether barriers strengthen, weaken, or hold — proximity alone does not predict which results.
