Hybridization and extinction
Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare
form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates …

Adaptive introgression as a resource for management and genetic conservation in a changing climate
JA Hamilton, JM Miller - Conservation Biology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Current rates of climate change require organisms to respond through migration, phenotypic
plasticity, or genetic changes via adaptation. We focused on questions regarding species' …
