Molecular identification of a backcross between a female common murre × thick-billed murre hybrid and a male common murre
Reports of interspecific hybrids that are based on morphological characters are often questioned, but new techniques in molecular genetics permit reliable identification of hybrids as well as sensitive detection of introgression. As part of a larger population survey, morphology, allozymes, and mito...
