Is diversity the same as hybridisation?
No. Not necessarily. For example you could get a hybrid produced by II from
2 inbred lines. To get diversity you need open mated mongrels. I am using
as definitions: hybrid = a cross of known parentage; and mongrel = a cross of
unknown parentage. I know that usage of these terms seems to change as the
Atlantic is crossed.
