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

Since the time of Charles Darwin, studies of interspecific hybridization have been a major
focus for evolutionary biologists. Although this phenomenon has often been viewed as …

Hybridisation and gene introgression are important sources of diversification, the relevance
of which in the evolutionary processes is well recognised. Their fitness consequences in …

Human impact is noticeable around the globe, indicating that a new era might have begun:
the Anthropocene. Continuing human activities, including land‐use changes, introduction of …

The widespread occurrence of free‐ranging domestic or feral carnivores (dogs, cats) or
ungulates (pigs, goats), and massive releases of captive‐reproduced game stocks …

In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Hybridization is widespread in nature and, in some instances, can result in the formation of a
new hybrid species. We investigate the genetic foundation of this poorly understood process …

Hybridization between wild species and their domestic counterparts may represent a major
threat to natural populations. However, high genetic similarity between the hybridizing taxa …

Studies of the genetics of hybrid zones can provide insight into the genomic architecture of
species boundaries. By examining patterns of introgression of multiple loci across a hybrid …

As populations become increasingly fragmented, managers are often faced with the
dilemma that intentional hybridization might save a population from inbreeding depression …
