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 …

Mating between individuals from different species (interspecific) or between individuals from
differentiated populations of the same species (intraspecific) can be a source of evolutionary …

This review deals with natural hybridization, an important subject in conservation biology.
Natural hybridization is defined as the secondary contact between two populations that have …

Hybridization processes are widespread throughout the taxonomic range and require
conservation recognition. Science can help us understand hybridization processes but not …

Rates of hybridization and introgression are increasing dramatically worldwide because of
translocations of organisms and habitat modifications by humans. Hybridization has …

Conservation interventions such as assisted migration and genetic alterations are
controversial in part because, through unintended hybridization events, they may imperil …

Interspecific hybridization is one of the most controversial—and usually neglected—issues
in conservation due to its multiple evolutionary consequences that might include the origin …

After decades of discussion, there is little consensus on the extent to which hybrids between
endangered and nonendangered species should be protected by US law. As increasingly …

Hybridization (the interbreeding of individuals from genetically distinct populations,
regardless of their taxonomic status) is the double-edged sword of conservation biology. On …

Biodiversity decline and genetic erosion are among the most challenging conservation
issues. Genetic admixture, the mixing of two or more genetically differentiated populations …
