The∼ 26 definitions of species often yield different numbers of species and disparate
grou**s, with financial, legal, biological and conservation implications. Using conservation …

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 …

As a result of processes such as habitat loss and overharvest, many species persist in small,
isolated populations that experience reduced fitness, decreased evolutionary potential, and …

Species hybrids have long been undervalued in conservation and are often perceived as a
threat to pure species. Recently, the conservation value of hybrids, especially those of …

The generation of genome‐wide sequence data has brought with it both exciting
opportunities for conservation and challenges for determining appropriate management …

Hybridization poses a complex problem for biodiversity conservation but there has been little
discussion of strategies and guidelines designed to address it from a management …

Introgression between domestic and wild taxa is a conservation issue because it can lead to
the genetic extinction of wild taxa. Understanding the causes of introgression is thus a …

Population declines may promote interspecific hybridization due to the shortage of
conspecific mates (Hubb's 'desperation'hypothesis), thus greatly increasing the risk of …

Anthropogenic hybridization of historically isolated taxa has become a primary conservation
challenge for many imperiled species. Indeed, hybridization between red wolves (Canis …

Hybridization between introduced biological control agents and native species has the
potential to impact native biodiversity and pest control efforts. This study reports progress …
