Hybridisation and genomic diversity in British and Irish pigeons Columba livia
Human introductions of animals and plants have caused a diverse array of conservation problems, including extinction by hybridisation. This results...
-
Hybridisation has shaped a recent radiation of grass-feeding aphids
BackgroundAphids are common crop pests. These insects reproduce by facultative parthenogenesis involving several rounds of clonal reproduction...

Hybridisation between host races broadens the host range of offspring in Eotetranychus asiaticus (Acari: Tetranychidae)
Host adaptation in herbivorous arthropods is one of the first steps to sympatric speciation, and spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) are useful model...

Hybridisation and the evolution of coral reef biodiversity
Hybridisation has traditionally been considered rare and unimportant in generating biodiversity in the marine environment, particularly in coral...

Bidirectional hybridisation and introgression between introduced European brown hare, Lepus europaeus and the endemic Irish hare, L. timidus hibernicus
Introduced non-native species can threaten native species through interspecific hybridisation and genetic introgression. We assessed the prevalence...
-
Evidence for extensive hybridisation and past introgression events in feather grasses using genome-wide SNP genotyping
BackgroundThe proper identification of feather grasses in nature is often limited due to phenotypic variability and high morphological similarity...

Supermarket Chains as Drivers of Hybridisation and Innovation in Territorial Food Systems
Some authors are now calling for going beyond approaches that are based on a fundamental opposition between the so-called ‘conventional’ and...

Hybridisation in kiwi (Apteryx; Apterygidae) requires taxonomic revision for the Great Spotted Kiwi
BackgroundKiwi ( Apteryx spp.) are flightless ratites from New Zealand whose numbers and distributions have declined following human arrival. Some of...

Hybridisation of Food Chains in Peri-urban Production Systems: The Example of Pisa in Italy
Peri-urban farms can react to urban pressure in different ways. Farmers can give up farming altogether and sell the land, profiting from high land...

Distribution, hybridisation and morphological variation in Alnus rohlenae (Betulaceae) an endemic species of the Balkan Peninsula
The diploid A. glutinosa (L.) Gaertn . is widespread throughout the European continent, except in the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas where tetraploid...

Conservation in the face of hybridisation: genome-wide study to evaluate taxonomic delimitation and conservation status of a threatened orchid species
This study assessed inter- and intraspecific relationships and genetic structure in an Australian species complex in the helmet orchids ( Corybas ) to...

Mesoscopic Evaluation of DNA Mismatches in PCR Primer-Target Hybridisation to Detect SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern
Mismatches are any type of base-pairs other than AT and CG. They are an expected occurrence in PCR primer-target hybridisation and may interfere with...

Anthropogenic movement results in hybridisation in impala in southern Africa
Hybridisation caused by anthropogenic movements of animals is a conservation concern. Black-faced impala ( Aepyceros melampus petersi ) are endemic to...

Potato Introgressive Hybridisation Breeding for Bacterial Wilt Resistance Using Solanum commersonii Dun. as Donor: Genetic and Agronomic Characterisation of a Backcross 3 Progeny
Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the main bacterial disease in potato. Solanum commersonii Dun . (cmm; 2 n = 2 x = 24, 1 EBN) is a...

Genetic diversity and population structure of the grey wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) and evidence of wolf × dog hybridisation in the centre of European Russia
Throughout history the human–wolf interaction has not evolved in favour of the wolf, however, wolves have never been endangered in Russia. The wolf ( C...

Range-wide patterns of human-mediated hybridisation in European wildcats
Hybridisation between wild taxa and their domestic congeners is a significant conservation issue. Domestic species frequently outnumber their wild...
-
Evidence of hybridisation between the common Indonesian banded pig (Sus scrofa vitattus) and the endangered Java warty pig (Sus verrucosus)
Due to hybridisation and breakdown of reproduction barriers the Java warty pig an endangered suid endemic to Java, may be assimilated into the gene...

Testing for hybridisation of the Critically Endangered Iguana delicatissima on Anguilla to inform conservation efforts
The Caribbean Island of Anguilla in the north-eastern Lesser Antilles is home to one of the last populations of the Critically Endangered Lesser...
-
Gut microbial communities of hybridising pygmy angelfishes reflect species boundaries
Hybridisation and introgression of eukaryotic genomes can generate new species or subsume existing ones, with direct and indirect consequences for...

Geographic hot spots of dingo genetic ancestry in southeastern Australia despite hybridisation with domestic dogs
Hybridisation resulting from human-driven shifts in species ranges is a global conservation concern. In Australia, hybridisation between dingoes ( Cani...
