Gene flow and hybridization between numerically imbalanced populations of two duck species in the Falkland Islands.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

McCracken Kevin G, Wilson Robert E

Abstract excerpt

Interspecific hybridization is common in plants and animals, particularly in waterfowl (Anatidae). One factor shown to contribute to hybridization is restricted mate choice, which can occur when two species occur in sympatry but one is rare. The Hubbs principle, or "desperation hypothesis," states that under such circumstances the rarer species is more likely to mate with heterospecifics. Here we report...
