Chapter 1 Repeated evolution of a floral trait in Capsella<br />
by Theißen (2000). With regard to the remarkable molecular and morphological<br />
differentiation, the decandric variant might (again) be treated as an independent taxon,<br />
resurrecting Capsella apetala from its early reports. Since no ecological adaptation to a<br />
certain (yet unknown) niche or any selective benefit was identified for the decandric<br />
variant, we hypothesize that the persistence of C. apetala is most likely the result of<br />
genetic hitch-hiking.<br />
