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

Anthropogenic impacts on the environment alter speciation processes by affecting both
geographical contexts and selection patterns on a worldwide scale. Here we review …

The translocation of individuals around the world is leading to rising incidences of
anthropogenic hybridization, particularly between domestic and wild congeners. We apply a …

Disruption of naturally evolved spatial patterns of genetic variation and local adaptations is a
growing concern in wildlife management and conservation. During the last decade, releases …

In the Anthropocene, human activities have been a dominant force affecting wildlife, natural
habitats, and climate worldwide. Over time, increasing incidences of wildlife-human …

C aptive‐bred mallards A nas platyrhynchos have been released for hunting purposes at a
very large scale in E urope since the mid‐1970s. In spite of a potential genetic impact, the …

Translocation of captive-bred individuals to reinforce wild populations may be an important
conservation approach for some species, but can be detrimental when employed to boost …

The conservation of many endangered taxa relies on hybrid identification, and when hybrids
become morphologically indistinguishable from the parental species, the use of molecular …

Human alteration of natural systems, and its consequences are of great concern and the
impact on global ecosystems is one of the biggest threats that biodiversity stands before …

Earlier studies from central and northern Europe have found a shortening of the ring
recovery distance in Mallard Anas platyrhynchos, which was generally attributed to climate …
