Interaction between Common and Siberian Chiffchaff in a contact zone
The study of hybridization between closely related taxa of animals sheds light on many important issues of evolution biology and taxonomy. Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita abietinus) and Siberian Chiffchaff (Ph. c. tristis) co-occur in an extended zone of sympatry in the area from theWhite...

The study of hybridization between closely related taxa of animals sheds light on many important issues of evolution biology and taxonomy. Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita abietinus) and Siberian Chiffchaff (Ph. c. tristis) co-occur in an extended zone of sympatry in the area from theWhite Sea to the South Urals. In allopatric populations, these two races are well differentiated in the external appearance and song. Under sympatric conditions, individuals with intermediate appearance and vocalizations are found practically everywhere but the occurrence of hybridization has not been documented up to date.
