Mallard Hybridization With Domesticated Lineages Alters Spring Migration Behavior and Timing [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Introgressive hybridization, the interbreeding and gene flow between different species, has become increasingly common in the Anthropocene, where human‐induced ecological changes and the introduction of captively reared individuals are increasing ...

Genetic divergences and hybridization within the Sebastes inermis complex [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
The Sebastes inermis complex includes three sympatric species (Sebastes cheni, viz Sebastes inermis, and Sebastes ventricosus) with clear ecomorphological differences, albeit incomplete reproductive isolation.

A common statement on anthropogenic hybridization of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
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 populations, as it can lead to changes in the genetic makeup of ...

Concern over hybridization risks should not preclude conservation interventions

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Conservation interventions such as assisted migration and genetic alterations are controversial in part because, through unintended hybridization events, they may imperil native species.

Liquid State Genetic Programming [PDF]

In: Beliczynski, B., Dzielinski, A., Iwanowski, M., Ribeiro, B. (eds) Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms. ICANNGA 2007. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 4431. Springer, 2023
A new Genetic Programming variant called Liquid State Genetic Programming (LSGP) is proposed in this paper. LSGP is a hybrid method combining a dynamic memory for storing the inputs (the liquid) and a Genetic Programming technique used for the problem solving part.

The genic view of hybridization in the Anthropocene

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
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 non‐native species and rapid climate change, are altering the ...

Solving even-parity problems using traceless genetic programming [PDF]

Congress on Evolutionary Computation, IEEE Press, Vol.2, pp. 1813-1819, 2004, 2021
A genetic programming (GP) variant called traceless genetic programming (TGP) is proposed in this paper. TGP is a hybrid method combining a technique for building individuals and a technique for representing individuals. The main difference between TGP and other GP techniques is that TGP does not explicitly store the evolved computer programs.

Genomic evidence reveals high genetic diversity in a narrowly distributed species and natural hybridization risk with a widespread species in the genus Geodorum

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Understanding genetic diversity is a core issue in conservation genetics. However, previous genetic diversity evaluations of narrowly distributed species have rarely used closely related widespread species as a reference.

Molecular evidence of hybridization in sympatric populations of the Enantia jethys complex (Lepidoptera: Pieridae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Hybridization events are frequently demonstrated in natural butterfly populations. One interesting butterfly complex species is the Enantia jethys complex that has been studied for over a century; many debates exist regarding the species composition of ...

Population genomic monitoring provides insight into conservation status but no correlation with demographic estimates of extinction risk in a threatened trout

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
The current extinction crisis requires effective assessment and monitoring tools. Genetic approaches are appealing given the relative ease of field sampling required to estimate genetic diversity characteristics assumed related to population size ...
