This may not be particularly surprising – the lower the heterosis the more similar the hybrid trait is to the higher of the two parental values.
We suggest that genes or genotypes interpreted as having additive effects may interact nonadditively to generate hybrid trait variation.
These data therefore provide strong evidence that the Heliconius heurippa colour pattern is a hybrid trait that causes reproductive isolation.
As the genetic basis for hybrid trait variation is studied in greater depth, we predict epistasis will have a major role in its explanation.
Under this scenario, if establishment of the hybrid trait involved many generations of backcrossing, then the genome of the novel hybrid linage could be predominantly derived from one of the parental species [ 17].
This includes the observation that vigor increases as the parents diverge genetically up to a point where the parent populations become incompatible [ 46] and hybrids between them are at a severe disadvantage, as well as demonstrating the difficulty of fixing the hybrid trait in a true-breeding line [ 45].

The relative F-ratios for the three explanatory values differed for the four hybrid traits.
Results of line-cross analyses for hybrid traits.
In true hybrids, on the other hand, hybrid traits will normally be found together.
By extension, selection of lines with favorable GCA, or additive, trait estimates for further development may not be a productive method to enhance hybrid traits.
