The wolf (Canis lupus) is arguably the most successful species at recolonizing its now
human‐dominated former ranges in Europe and North America. Over the centuries while the …

Hybridization, defined as breeding between two distinct taxonomic units, can have an
important effect on the evolutionary patterns in cross-breeding taxa. Although interspecific …

Cities are uniquely complex systems regulated by interactions and feedbacks between
nature and human society. Characteristics of human society—including culture, economics …

Hybridization among naturally separate taxa is increasing owing to human impact, and can
result in taxon loss. Previous classification of anthropogenic hybridization has largely …

Animal domestication has fascinated biologists since Charles Darwin first drew the parallel
between evolution via natural selection and human-mediated breeding of livestock and …

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

The conservation of adaptive potential to enable populations and species to respond to
environmental change is one of the cornerstones of conservation genetics. To date …

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

Abstract The 'Compassionate Conservation'movement is gaining momentum through its
promotion of 'ethical'conservation practices based on self-proclaimed principles of 'first-do …

Introgressive hybridization can pose a serious threat to endangered species which have an
overlap** distribution such as in the case of two polecat species, Mustela eversmanii and …
