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.
