Appendix 2 Appendix Table A1: Comprehensive list of all hybrid taxa for which the hybridization-invasion (H-I) hypothesis has been suggested. We report basic biological information, including nativity of parents relative to the region where hybrids are invasive/weedy (N = native, E = exotic); ploidy estimates (and whether hybrids have increased ploidy relative to their parents); life form and life history. For each hybrid, we note whether any experimental tests of the H-I hypothesis have been performed, whether observational data only have been reported or whether invasive/weedy hybrids have simply been identified in the literature with an association between the two processes (exp, obs or ID, respectively). We also report whether hybrids have at least one crop or domesticated parent, whether the system was previously noted in the latest review by Schierenbeck and Ellstrand 2009 (and if so, where), and the relative timing of hybridization and introduction to the novel region (where relevant).
