Hybridization, or interbreeding between different taxa, was traditionally considered to be
rare and to have a largely detrimental impact on biodiversity, sometimes leading to the …

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 …

Hybridization between wild animals and feral individuals from closely related domestic
species can occur when they share the same habitat. Such events are generally regarded …

Under the ecological speciation model, divergent selection acts on ecological differences
between populations, gradually creating barriers to gene flow and ultimately leading to …

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 …

Preserving natural genetic diversity and ecological function of wild species is a central goal
in conservation biology. As such, anthropogenic hybridization is considered a threat to wild …

Environmental adaptation traits of indigenous African cattle are increasingly being
investigated to respond to the need for sustainable livestock production in the context of …

Hybridization between the European smooth and palmate newts has recurrently been
mentioned in the literature. The only two studies that attempted to quantify the frequency of …

The fin whale Balaenoptera physalus is a large rorqual species occurring worldwide, mainly
in temperate and subpolar zones. In contrast to many baleen whales, not all the fin whale …

Assisted colonisation, the introduction of species beyond their historical range, is
increasingly necessary for conserving species. However, empirical evidence of the long …
