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

Studies on hybridization have proved critical for understanding key evolutionary processes
such as speciation and adaptation. However, from the perspective of conservation …

Human demographic expansion has confined wildlife to fragmented habitats, often in
proximity to human‐modified landscapes. Such interfaces facilitate increased interactions …

Hybridisation between a domesticated species and its wild ancestor is an important
conservation problem, especially if it results in the introgression of domestic gene variants …

Hybridisation between wolves and dogs is increasingly reported in Europe. Nonetheless, no
systematic survey has ever been attempted at the continental scale. We made the first …

Understanding the dynamics of wolf-dog hybridization and delineating evidence-based
conservation strategies requires information on the spatial extent of wolf-dog hybridization in …

Wolves and dogs provide a paradigmatic example of the ecological and conservation
implications of hybridization events between wild and domesticated forms. However, our …

Crossbreeding between wolves (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) and domestic dogs is raising
as an emerging, potential threat to the conservation of wolf populations. Concern has been …

The conservation of pure wolf populations in Europe is currently threatened by
anthropogenic hybridization with dogs, through potential extinction of local gene pools due …

Anthropogenic hybridization is recognized as a major threat to the long-term survival of
natural populations. While identifying F1 hybrids might be simple, the detection of older …
