Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle hybrids by parents, rank, fertility, naming and regulation.

An organism resulting from crossing parents of different species, subspecies, breeds or varieties, such as mules, some cultivated plants and designer dog crosses; hybrids may be sterile or fertile.

What it is for: Breeding for vigour and traits in agriculture and horticulture; also occurs naturally.

It can be identify parent species; name hybrids with the multiplication sign; breed hybrid crops and plants; assess invasive or welfare risks.

Distinguishing features

Offspring of different taxa or breeds

May show hybrid vigour

Often sterile across species

Named by nomenclature codes

What it looks like

Often intermediate between parents.

How it is recognised

Names with a multiplication sign between parents

Portmanteau names such as pomsky

Cultivar names in quotes
