Summary The interaction of divergent genomes as seen in the expression and stability of molecular, physiological and morphological characters may have a profound effect on the fitness of hybrids and bring forward new variations on which selection may act. The evolutionary implications of developmental interactions should prove to be a most rewarding area of inquiry for biosystematists.
