High dispersal rates in hybrids drive expansion of maladaptive hybridization
Samuel Bourret, Ryan P. Kovach, Timothy Joseph Cline, Jeffrey Strait, Clint C. Muhlfeld
2022, Proceedings of the Royal Society B (289)
Hybridization between native and invasive species, a major cause of biodiversity loss, can spread rapidly even when hybrids have reduced fitness. This paradox suggests that hybrids have greater dispersal rates than non-hybridized individuals, yet this mechanism has not been empirically tested in animal populations. Here, we test if non-native genetic...
