Integration of natural selection across the life cycle stabilizes a marine mussel hybrid zone
© 2024 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..
Hybridization among related species is now recognized as common but it remains unclear how hybrid zones persist for prolonged periods. Here, we test the hypothesis that selection in different components of the life cycle may stabilize a hybrid zone. A hybrid zone occurs in southwest England between the marine mussels Mytilus edulis and M. galloprovincialis. Previous studies have found strong directional selection against alleles from M. edulis occurs among hybrids in the adult stage. Traditional hybrid zone models argue that alleles that are selected within the hybrid zone are replaced by migration from neighboring parental population into the hybrid zone. In this system, however, migration occurs out of this hybrid zone into neighboring parental populations. This hybrid zone should therefore be unstable and dissipate, yet this zone has persisted for more than 30 years. We tested and rejected the hypothesis that differences in fecundity may select for M. edulis alleles within this hybrid zone and thus counter the selection observed against these alleles among adults. We also tested the hypothesis that selection during the larval stage may counter selection against M. edulis alleles in the adult stage. We found that selection favors M. edulis alleles during the veliger stage of larval development. The direction and strength of selection during the larval stage are sufficient to counter strong selection during the adult portion of the life cycle. This hybrid zone is stabilized by opposing forms of directional selection operating in different portions of the life cycle.
