<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Underlying_mechanisms_and_processes">Underlying mechanisms and processes</h2></div>
<p>Since the nineteenth century, scientists from different disciplines have studied how reticulate evolution occurs. Researchers have increasingly succeeded in identifying these mechanisms and processes. It has been found to be driven by symbiosis, symbiogenesis (endosymbiosis), lateral gene transfer, hybridization and infectious heredity.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Symbiogenesis">Symbiogenesis</h3></div>
<p><a href="Symbiogenesis" title="Symbiogenesis">Symbiogenesis</a> (endosymbiosis) is a special form of symbiosis whereby an organism lives inside another, different organism. Symbiogenesis is thought to be very important in the origin and evolution of <a href="Eukaryote" title="Eukaryote">eukaryotes</a>. Eukaryotic <a href="Organelle" title="Organelle">organelles</a>, such as mitochondria, have been theorized to have been originated from cell-invaded bacteria living inside another cell.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Lateral_gene_transfer">Lateral gene transfer</h3></div>
<p><a href="Horizontal_gene_transfer" title="Horizontal gene transfer">Lateral gene transfer</a>, or horizontal gene transfer, is the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms without a parent-offspring relationship. The horizontal transfer of genes results in new genes, which could give new functions to the recipient and thus could drive evolution.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hybridization">Hybridization</h3></div>
<p>In the <a href="Neo-Darwinism" title="Neo-Darwinism">neo-Darwinian</a> paradigm, one of the assumed definition of a species is that of <a href="Ernst_Mayr" title="Ernst Mayr">Mayr's</a>, which defines species based upon sexual compatibility.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Mayr's definition therefore suggests that individuals that can produce fertile offspring must belong to the same species. However, in <a href="Hybridisation_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hybridisation (biology)">hybridization</a>, two organisms produce offspring while being distinct species.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During hybridization the characteristics of these two different species are combined yielding a new organism, called a hybrid, thus driving evolution.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Infectious_heredity">Infectious heredity</h3></div>
<p>Infectious agents, such as <a href="Virus" title="Virus">viruses</a>, can infect the cells of host organisms. Viruses infect cells of other organisms in order to enable their own reproduction.

Therefore, infectious heredity plays an important role in evolution,<sup id="cite_ref-:6_2-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for example in the formation of the female <a href="Placenta" title="Placenta">placenta</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
