Abstract excerpt
Introgressive hybridization has an important evolutionary significance in terms of gene diversity and speciation. Among the major groups of vertebrates, fish show a strong propensity to hybridize. In order to highlight the possible occurrence of gene flow between two tilapia species, Oreochromis niloticus and O. aureus, a comparison of allozyme and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism was performed on sympatric...
