Hybridization, defined as breeding between two distinct taxonomic units, can have an
important effect on the evolutionary patterns in cross-breeding taxa. Although interspecific …

Successful conservation depends on accurate taxonomy. Currently, the taxonomy of canids
in Africa, Eurasia and Australasia is unstable as recent molecular and morphological studies …

Admixture between species is a cause for concern in wildlife management. Canids are
particularly vulnerable to interspecific hybridisation, and genetic admixture has shaped their …

Deciphering the origins of phenotypic variations in natural animal populations is a
challenging topic for evolutionary and conservation biologists. Atypical morphologies in …

Hybridisation between wild and domestic taxa raises complex questions for conservation.
Genetic advances offer new methods for hybrid identification, yet social and cultural factors …

Abstract The Journal of Human Evolution (JHE) was founded 50 years ago when much of
the foundation for how we think about human evolution was in place or being put in place …

After decades of intense persecution, the Iberian wolf subspecies faced a severe bottleneck
in the 1970s that considerably reduced its range and population size, nearly leading to its …

Hybridization is an important evolutionary force with a principal role in the origin of new
species, known as hybrid speciation. However, ongoing hybridization can create hybrid …

Los gatos y perros domésticos son las mascotas preferidas del hombre, por lo que se han
convertido en especies invasoras y los carnívoros más abundantes del planeta. A pesar de …

The impact of human activities on the global environment has increased to such an extent
that the current geological era has been coined the Anthropocene. Studies dedicated to …
