It is widely acknowledged that allopolyploidy via hybridization and genome doubling can lead to speciation, as polyploid hybrids can be immediately isolated from diploid parental taxa due to high levels of sterility caused by uneven numbers of chromosome complements in their progeny (Soltis and Soltis, 2009; Abbott et al, 2013)
Homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS), in which a hybrid lineage becomes genetically isolated from their parents and functions as a distinct evolutionary unit, has been thought to be fairly uncommon (Chase et al, 2010; Servedio et al, 2013)
