Evaluating hybrid speciation and swamping in wild carnivores with a decision‐tree approach
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.Abstract 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 swamping, in which parental genomes are completely lost. This can become a biodiversity threat if it involves species that have adapted to certain environmental ...
