Graphical abstract. Plant hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary process, and a deeper understanding of hybridization is necessary for its application to agriculture, conservation, and ecological solutions. Here, we assess correlates of hybridization in the megadiverse and societally important family Asteraceae and how and where hybrids have been identified over the past 50+ years. We find that researchers are increasingly using molecular tools to identify hybrids and that efforts are biased towards European and North American examples. Our findings highlight the need for geographic expansion of plant hybrid reporting to facilitate the identification of global patterns.

OMG, new pub: Leandra O'Connell, @noraflora10.bsky.social, and I ask, what's the deal with all that hybridization in the sunflower family?
