For a long time, conservationists have feared losing H. non-scripta via hybridization. But these fears may be misplaced. Scientists found that natives were significantly more likely to produce seed, and so numerous that populations can compete. https:
@domgreves @SussexWildlife The work of Deborah Kohn @RBGE_Science suggests that the non-native is probably of hybrid origin and has much lower reproductive success than the native species. Both lower seed production and poorer pollination. https://t.co/erT
@Haggewoods @jackwallington @campaignstrat @joshual951 1/x I expect your both referring to this: https://t.co/niLptN2oBh (as was I). I was probably too 'paraphrasy' - I certainly don't believe are not risks (although both spp. did coevolve in close contact
Reassuringly, a recent study suggests that fears about losing our native bluebell may be misplaced. The researchers found natives were significantly more likely to produce seed, and so numerous that hybridization may not be a such a threat. https://t.c
@jackwallington This research suggests no or very little threat... https://t.co/Rkulcz7RNT

@Barbus59 This paper is interesting, suggesting that hybridisation may be less of a threat to UK bluebells than was previously thought https://t.co/y3Fjgoaiii. That having been said, we've been trying to get rid of the few hybrids present at Ranscombe.
@MickJones9 @BBOWT Hello Mick. I haven't seen any rebuttal of the results in this paper. https://t.co/oiZQKs47pv

So when I saw this widely reported paper on bluebells published in a Springer journal with NERC funding, I thought it might be OA under the SpringerCompact deal, however it isn't because RBGE outputs aren't included the deal (?) https://t.co/PtsLjw0lay
