As a result, the hybrid species will have some traits that are transgressive (extreme) in nature. Transgressive segregation can allow a hybrid species to populate different environments/niches in which the parent species do not reside, or compete in the existing environment with the parental species.
Because of this, hybrid species will have characteristics that are exceptionally unusual. This phenomenon allows hybrids to occupy various ecological niches that their parents don't typically use, or to compete with their parents for resources within those same environments.
