Temporal persistence of admixed phenotypes in a damselfly hybrid zone

In odonates, hybridization has been documented in several species pairs, yet the long-term persistence of hybrid phenotypes remains poorly understood, particularly in Neotropical systems. Here, we investigate a putative hybrid zone between Ischnura capreolus and Ischnura cyane, which overlap along an altitudinal gradient in the Colombian Andes. We combined temporal sampling across sympatric and allopatric localities with multilocus genetic analyses and geometric morphometrics of wings and...
